Interestingly, with Gerald's update of the GTK packages from openSUSE, with
r42143 I now see lower Wireshark CPU usage.  Most of the time it's 0-2% with 0%
heavily favored.  Initially I had seen occasional jumps higher but only for
very short durations; however, I haven't seen anything above 2% in a long time.
 Similar results for Win7 64-bit.
