Why is tshark that slow?

When executing a tshark -h of tshark -v it takes +/- 100 seconds before I get a response on Windows 10 - 1089. There is no resource issue in Windows Task Manager.

Why is tshark that slow?slow to start up, even if you're only running it with -h or -v?

When executing a tshark -h of -h or tshark -v -v it takes +/- 100 seconds before I get a response on Windows 10 - 1089. There is no resource issue in Windows Task Manager.
