Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 481] CPU performance pegs near 100% for v 0.10.12 but 0.10

I have been experiencing similar CPU utilization (80-100%) while opening up
dialogs, opening log files and capturing packets.  It looks like a GUI related
issue to me, as when I scroll around a log that I have opened (a 1 meg log can
take 3+ minutes instead of 10 seconds like on most of my other machines), I see
the CPU surge to 100% in the ethereal.exe/wireshark.exe process.  Even without
a log open, I see smaller spikes and sluggish window painting as I move over
the drop down menus.

However, I have tried the versions listed in this bug that seemed to work ok
for the original poster and saw no improvement.  I'm currently using Wireshark
0.99.2 with the same behavior.  I have tried disabling ARP, etc.

I'm using a Dell D610, Pentium M 1.86 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and an ATI Mobility
Radeon X300 with 64 MB (ATI driver dated 12/3/2004 with a version of
6.14.10.6483).  I'm running Windows XP Pro w/SP2 with no special GUI modifiers
(i.e. "Window Blinds").

What additional information do I need to provide to help move this bug along?

Thanks,
Lawrence
