Fix excessive memory consumption #173

Closed HanabishiRecca closed 11 months ago

HanabishiRecca commented 11 months ago

Read instructions one-by-one instead of keeping the whole disassembled data inside the RAM. This approach decreases the amount of memory used dramatically, making the app able to process binaries of any size. As a bonus, it also increases the app performance by about 2-3 times on the hardware I tested.
