On larger files with no active capture "Expert Info" seems to be effective, but
"Expert Info Composite" is very slow, sometime taking 12 hours. From strace
there seems to be large quantities of lseek. I have seen this in 0.9.6 as well
as the latest 1.0.0 generally running on SuSE 10.3.

Will continue to look at it.


lseek(8, 4845568, SEEK_SET)             = 4845568
lseek(8, 4845568, SEEK_SET)             = 4845568
lseek(8, 4845568, SEEK_SET)             = 4845568
lseek(8, 4845568, SEEK_SET)             = 4845568
lseek(8, 4845568, SEEK_SET)             = 4845568
lseek(8, 4845568, SEEK_SET)             = 4845568
lseek(8, 4845568, SEEK_SET)             = 4845568
lseek(8, 4845568, SEEK_SET)             = 4845568
