OK. So maybe the additional solution like :

________________________-----------------------------______________
Old data saved to disk    Data visible in wireshark   New incoming data

The Wireshark will be consume only some amount of memory for current data.
Data of oldest captured packets (like above visible 500000 of packets) will ba
saved on disk, and visible only when you open this data from the saved file.
