ah yes, i see now:

assuming 3 packets, that's about 64MB of raw data per ethernet frame. The tshark output shows a 82 byte frame. That works out to 818400:1 overhead. Close to 1MB of .wfm data per 1 byte of packet data.

I suppose you could do some processing or compression closer to the input, but then you're just building a nic at that point.
