Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] R: R: 0.99.4pre2 taking a really long time ininitdissectors?

Sorry Jeff, you're right.
I was trying the latest build found on
http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/win32/ (SVN-19748) and actually
that version is quicker that 0.99.4pre2 (it takes 3 or 4 seconds to start
up, while the prerelease takes at least -on my laptop- 15 seconds).

Ciao,


Davide
