Title
Feature Request: Support Perfetto Protobuf Input
Body
Please integrate support for Perfetto Protobuf input. This offers two key advantages:
- Eliminates RAM Limitations: Protobuf allows streaming data directly to disk as the program runs (e.g., flushing every 1MB). This avoids the memory overhead of storing the entire trace in RAM before writing.
- Compact File Size: The binary format is significantly smaller than textual output.
