Hi,

As can be seen we have managed to make a significant improvement from 1.10.6

Some stuff that might still be interesting to look into is xml parsing

Tvb_parse_get()

 

In tree_data_add_maybe_interesting_field() change the g_hash_table_new and g_ptr_array_add() to use wmem based functions.

 

Change p_add_proto_data() to use wmem based functions.

 

Regards
