I have found that Linux seems to manage the memory better and able to open large files that Windows has problems with.

Hi,

 

  I have a 700 Meg file with SIP and RTP whichI am trying to open and it chews up memory upto 3 Gig on my XP laptop. This was not happening with the prior Wireshark Version I had.

 

 Are there any known issues with latest Wireshark Release w.r.t opening large files.
