I just want to salute all that are involved in and contributing big and
small to improving the performance.


Thanks to all.


Please keep ideas, patches and profile data coming.  We have already in just
a few weeks made ethereal significantly faster than
version 0.9.16.


I just checked in patches for 2 pretty cheap fixes that made tethereal maybe
3% faster.  Not much in itself but if we do 20 more of these 3% fixes
it all adds up to something one can actually notice.



Gerald,  maybe there should be a temporary ethereal-performance  mailing
list for these activities?   there are many interested and contributing and
it would keep performance stuff from spamming/polluting the main developer
list?
Not everyone is really working with datasets large enough that performance
is an important issue and performance related mailings are already taking up
a large amount of the ethereal-dev traffic.
