Double pre-buffering for better performance with very large pcaps
Use the TCPivo method of dual memory buffers to prefetch packets from disk. Locking penalties are reduced by having two buffers which are at any given time a write buffer (from disk) or a read buffer (to network). Only really useful if you're using a really large pcap file and you can't use the cache file to store it completely in memory IMHO.
Not as important now that we have a full cache option in 3.0. Still worth doing for large pcaps (larger then free RAM) or when you're not looping.
