I think it should with -l option:

Thanks for uploading it, still I can't reproduce the problem.
On my Linux/AMD64 tshark (r44719) use *only* 307 MB:
$ /usr/bin/time -v ./tshark -n -r /tmp/20120214-BA_00001_20120214155239.pcap -q
-z io,stat,1 > /dev/null
[...]
Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 307264
[...]
I really don't know why your tshark takes almost 3GB, any custom plugins?
dissectors? Special configuration?
Can you test if older version of tshark (1.6.x, 1.4.x) has the same problem?
What's memory usage without stats? (i.e. tshark -n -r
20120214-BA_00001_20120214155239.pcap -q)
