My Hardware: P4 2ghz 500K frames. How I'm doing it: 1. open up ethereal 2. load capture(takes 10-15 seconds) 3. select view 4. click options 5. click radio button for Date and Time of Day 6. Wait a half hour Other symptoms: It flies for the first few 10-20K worth of packets and then gets almost exponentially slower the farther along it gets. > > 0.10.0a > > is faster but I have a 50MB trace that has been converting for over 30 > > minutes and is only 48% done. > > The next release might have some further improvements (at least for > GTK+ 1.2[.x] versions), and some future release might make it take next > to no time (the latter wouldn't be a trivial change). - -- Jeremy M.
