Yes, it could be.  There are some cases where TShark keeps information  
around in memory even after it's no longer needed (because TShark and  
Wireshark use the same dissector code and dissector framework, and, in  
Wireshark, that information could be needed as long as the file is  
open), so it can use a significant amount of memory on a large file.
