Any plans for this? On larger files, would significantly speed up the use of complex display filters. asked 02 Feb '11, 07:33  rancur3p1c |

I think it's on a lot of developer's minds, but it is not/will not be easy. There is a wiki entry that discusses some of what must be done from a development perspective. answered 02 Feb '11, 07:56  JeffMorriss ♦ |
Complex display filters do not themselves require lots of CPU time. Dissecting packets does, and you need to dissect packets to handle any display filters. See item 6 in this list for some discussion of parallelizing dissection; unfortunately, it's an "embarrassingly serial" problem in the general case, but there's some stuff that could be parallelized. answered 02 Feb '11, 18:45  Guy Harris ♦♦ |
