It looks like the old profiles I had in WS before upgrading to 2.0.1 is causing
2.0.1 to consume lots of RAM when loading a saved trace file (close to 2GB for
a 1.6 MB trace file) or when doing a new capture... and ultimately WS becomes
unresponsive.

Same results on Office LAN and home network, have tested with the two
non-Default Profiles I have and both trigger the same result.

Loading the same file using Default profile or doing a new capture (eth or
wifi) works just fine and consumes little RAM... as expected.

I did not experience this before I upgraded from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1.
