Since this is on Ubuntu (which can run valgrind) just use the -p option to tools/valgrind-wireshark.sh and it will 
produce a performance profile. Do that for >both builds and we'll have something to work with.

Evan

Here's the output from "trunk", how do you get anything useful from it?

PS I suspect some new heuristic dissector has been introduced, since none of the other changes from 1.8 to trunk are 
likely to have such a significant >performance impact.

Hi,

I recently supplied some people with an internal build from recent 
trunk and got complaints on performance. Switching back

To the default Wireshark on the Ubuntu 13.04 system 1.8.2 reading of 
a 400M trace file with SIP Diameter etc traffic is more than twice as fast.

Regards

Anders
