> If there is a problem with the memory, maybe just try to save some packets "in flight" on hard drive instead of memory ?

That's exactly what we do and have always done.

However, other things consume a significant mount of memory, including packet
reassembly and - to a lesser degree in 1.4 - column contents for the packet
display.  See the link that Anders gave.
