There is the advantage that if you leave concurrent DNS lookups turned
on in the name resolution preferences, DNS lookups will be non-blocking.
This means that Wireshark submits the request to the c-ares or adns
library to do a lookup but continues capturing and displaying packets.
When the c-ares/adns library returns the result, Wireshark uses it from
then on.
