It now seems like extcap_register_preferences is the thing taking the longest time when starting up Wireshark, at least on Window.
One issue is that extcap_register_preferences is called before loading the interfaces, and therefore all extcap binaries are run twice because of multiple calls to extcap_reload_interface_list(). One in extcap_register_preferences() and one in fill_in_local_interfaces(). This should be improved. Loading extcap could be done in the background after Wireshark has started, like is done in "Refresh Interfaces". -- Stig Bjørlykke ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
