VCD files are simple but big and slow. Other formats could be better for disk space and performance.
Find wave dump format(s) which enable lower space and/or higher performance.
One option could be FST. There's a discussion on adding it to treadle here that may be of interest: https://github.com/chipsalliance/treadle/issues/101
Some vendors and tools have proprietary formats that work well with their debug tools. Perhaps it's worth investigating methods to generate those formats.
