Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Enabling threads

["ronnie sahlberg" <ronniesahlberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

yes.

we used to have 2 threads in the old ethereal for a short period.

one thread for the main application and a second thread that was
dedicated to only update/redraw teh statistics taps once every few
seconds.

this did cause a quite significant degradation in performance/speed of
ethereal which is why it was removed :-(
