Slows down after 18000 packets

[eden-desta]

Hi, I noticed that there is a serious slow down in processing at about 18000 packets.

I simply have a for loop running through every packet in a capture and printing to the screen the number of the packet. I did this in order to determine if there was something wrong with my parsing of the data or something else. In an effort to reduce those problems, i though to run this simple test.

For your info i am running on Ubuntu 20.04 ( i also tested it on windows 10 and saw the same problem) Python3: Python 3.8.10 Pyshark: 0.4.3 TShark (Wireshark) 3.2.3 (Git v3.2.3 packaged as 3.2.3-1)

The file i am working with is 500Mb+

Thanks !
