I have only fake one:
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/tvb-opt-allocator/udp-test/udp-tvb-benchmark.pcap.xz (eth:ethertype:vlan:ethertype:ip:udp:sip])

This generally always shows up.
If you have small amount of frames just substract time spend in epan_init()
(as it doesn't matter of number of capture files).

Profiled target:  /tmp/wireshark/.libs/tshark -nr /tmp/udp-tvb-benchmark.pcap (...)
