Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Auto-save packets to file

Hi.
 I am working with massive amounts of packets. At some point, Wireshark starts to choke, or there is a warning about low virtual memory.

I would like to tell Wireshark to auto-save the packets to a file once in a while, and clear the memory so it can handle more packets.
Of course, I will later need some way to re-load all the data and still not have any memory problems. MAYBE it can be done somehow with the capture filter, namely to load only what I need from the created file.

Is there such (or a similar)  feature?

Thanks.
