I�m attempting to use pcap to compare time intervals. I need to know how Wireshark implements pcap. Is there any good info out there?

What do you mean by "implements pcap"? All libpcap/WinPcap do is let you capture packets; determining the interval between packets (which I presume are the time intervals you're comparing) is something the application using libpcap/WinPcap will have to do itself.
