You could setup a ramdisk and use that for the ring. There's an overhead but it
is way faster than a disk.

The issue you'll face is that wireshark's memory management (memory usage keeps
growing until it crashes) makes it a bad long-running sniffer especially if
you're dealing with high packet rates.
