Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] 0.99.4pre2 taking a really long time in init dissectors?

I'm trying out the new prerelease and I found that it takes a little over 30 seconds to start Wireshark [my laptop is old, but it's not *that* old!]. The Splash screen shows most of the time spent in "Init dissectors" and Task Manager shows the CPU pegged during this time.

Interestingly, 'tshark' starts up pretty quickly.


My install is standard except:
	- do not install SNMP MIBs
	- install MATE
