Oh, yeah... one week is a killer... I've run for just an hour at a customer we didn't hit a snag. Wouldn't it be best if tshark stopped saving the packets once the statistic is obtained for the timeframe?

Consider using tshark (command-line tool) with the following parameters

No packets are saved during this process - you're only getting statistics.
Laura, this is not entirely true. As tshark uses dumpcap to capture the traffic, dumpcap will save all the packets in a temporary file from which tshark will read. To monitor the traffic for a week in this manner will most likely result in a) an out-of-memory error due to the fact that tshark keeps information about each conversation and b) a disk filling up with packet data.
