I have 5 extcaps, and the difference is about half a second. Would be interesting, what kind of devices you have in your extcap list. But in general, I still think the main time is loading the rest of interfaces, extcap is a very small part, just pushed the whole time over the top. cheers On Tue, Jan 9, 2018 at 2:38 PM, Anders Broman <anders.broman () ericsson com> wrote:

I have nothing against having apreference, but I am very much against making not-loading extcap the default. New users should not face a hassle to enable a capture interface, but existing users, who wish to improve the performance in any way, can profit from an option doing exactly that.So +1 on making this option available+1big -1 on making it default to not-loading+1 on the -1 :-) ____________________________________________________________ _______________ 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 ____________________________________________________________ _______________ 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
