Hi, Experimenting loading the file there is 163 calls to VirtualAlloc() ~1.630 GB memory used Changing #define EMEM_ALLOCS_PER_CHUNK (EMEM_PACKET_CHUNK_SIZE / 512) to: #define EMEM_ALLOCS_PER_CHUNK (EMEM_PACKET_CHUNK_SIZE / 64) Gives only 26 VirtualAlloc() so it seems like we waist a huge amount of memory... 15 VirtualAlloc() with 32 bytes. Is there a reason not to change to: #define EMEM_ALLOCS_PER_CHUNK (EMEM_PACKET_CHUNK_SIZE / 32) ? Loading is actually 2s slower with se_alloc for col_text... Are we better off using glibs memory functions?

Hi, I got a 146 Mbyte trace file, loading it with the new packet list WS blows up "Out of memory" i in emem.c (~line 353) Looking in the task manager 279 216K s allcated. Using my second build without the new packet list The file loads fine using 492 304K. Changing se_alloc to g_slice_alloc0 for fdata->col_text(file.c) etc the file loads fine. Using 318 236K Loading time 55.459 with old packet list 47.846 :( Something must be wrong with se_alloc? Ideas?
