There is an issue with Ethereal reading large capture files, period,
regardless of whether they're tcpdump/Windump/Ethereal/Tethereal/...
(i.e., libpcap), or snoop, or Sniffer, or Microsoft Network Monitor,
or; the issue is that we're currently using the GtkClist widget to
display the packet list, and that widget saves the strings for all
columns in all rows, which takes up rather a lot of memory.
