Comment # 6 on bug 12231 from 
We should probably have *some* bug open to track attempts to reduce the amount
of memory used; there are various improvements that could possibly be made,
such as:

    for one-pass processing, figuring out how to release information that we
*know* will not be needed to dissect any packets we will see in the future;

    not retaining the contents of reassembled/decrypted/decompressed/etc.
packets after the first pass, and, instead, reconstructing it on subsequent
passes.

(Neither are easy, as far as I know, but we should keep them on the table.)
