All the packets and decodes are of no interest for me.

I only want to have the statistics over 8 hours.
What is the best way to invest as few CPU, Memory and diskspace to get that result ? 

Use ntop instead of Ethereal?

It wouldn't give you the *same* dialog, but it should, I think, give you the statistics you want. It doesn't save packets and doesn't do as much dissection - it's intended to be, and designed to be, a network statistics program, unlike Ethereal which is intended to be, and designed to be, a network traffic analyzer (and thus does work not useful when just computing network statistics).
