Note that sometimes col values change on a redissection, e.g. if a protocol preference is changed or if the display format for the time changes. Note also that it will probably consume a significant amount of memory - in fact, it already *does* consume a significant amount of memory, because the GtkClist for the summary pane keeps strings for all the values.
