That's my biggest complain. Sometimes I fire it up to capture sip||rtp and forget about it. When I come back next day my PC feels crippled. Sometimes I don't notice that problem right away and keep working half a day on barely breathing pc. Isn't there some kind of backup file for ongoing capture to dump excessively huge captures? Why is that wireshark.exe ends up eating 4-5GB of ram over a couple of days?? One suggestion is to save as much data to a file when wireshark is minimized (e.g. when it cannot be used by scrolling in realtime capture list etc). So that in this mode the beast doesn't kill my pc. |
