Or should the Ethernet dissector also get a "Try heuristic dissectors first?"
preference (defaulted to FALSE)?
I would hate to do this because it reduces the default functionality of
Wireshark, but if it is that much slower we should probably do it.
Hmmm... since we now have the nice feature of multiple profiles, would
it not be an idea to ship Wireshark with a couple of profiles? At least
three profiles would be useful:
- Maximum Features, which should have *all* features enabled
- Maximum Performance, which should have all performance eating
features and protocols disabled
- General Usage, which could have all the most used features and
protocols enabled
That would also help with post-dissectors for obscure protocols which we
probably want disabled by default. We discussed one a while ago:
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200706/msg00065.html
which, oops, it looks like the author found a way to disable his
dissector by default but we never reviewed/committed it.
