Revision history  [back]

When starting stating a capture (no filter) with a lot of traffic - after few tens of seconds WS becomes non-responsive - even stopping the capture takes long time. Is this normal and to expect?

I assume it is due to the large volume of data and fair enough. But never the less it is a bit annoying. Are there tricks to tame it before it grinds to a halt except stopping manually after few 10 seconds?

Thanks for hints.
