| At some point, we might also want to have "proto_register_protocol()"
| take a "protocol_t **" argument and set the "protocol_t *" pointed to
| by that argument to point to the new protocol's "protocol_t",
| and have
| more routines take "protocol_t *"s rather than protocol IDs as
| arguments; that might make startup run faster. (We might
| want to do a
| profiled run of starting up Ethereal and exiting immediately.)
These are the results of such a test (colorfilters were on, but I started
Ethereal without command-line arguments from the command line). Please note
that I don't currently build with plugins as this is still somehow
cumbersome to me :)
The big consumers are listed below:

All other entries were each taking "0 time" so I left them out.
