In some cases, probably.

Whenever you select an item in the packet detail pane, the text widget with the hex/ASCII dump has to highlight the data corresponding to it. Unfortunately, that's currently done by *reconstructing the entire dump pane*, which is *another* thing that would probably be done better by a "virtual" widget of the type I describe - such a widget would highlight text when it draws it, so the time to redraw would be proportional to the amount of text *displayed*, not the total amount of text in the widget. There are probably also extra calls to construct the dump pane being made. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
