[Bro] Time Machine RAM usage question

I've got a question on tm's RAM usage, and I was hoping someone could
point me in the right direction: I'm trying to get as much duration
as possible out of tm so that I can go back many hours or even days
for packets. I have a lot of disk to throw at it, and a fair amount
of RAM. The problem I'm running into is that when I move the
conn_timeout up to 86400 but keep the mem settings low, tm still
consumes a massive amount of RAM. I am concluding that the RAM usage
must be the connection tables, and not the mem setting for the traffic
class. Is there a way to allow tm to maximize for longevity? My
understanding is that if I move the conn_timeout down, those packets
will not be available for query.
Thanks,
Martin
