Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark Performance

My tests point to v2.1.0rc0-228-g4f39c60 on master as the big one in terms of capture file load performance hit, but there is an earlier commit that appears to consistently added one second to  the load of my test file versus head on master-2.0.  I'll start bisect for this smaller one shortly.
