yes, but, in the end, if you can't keep up, you can't keep up. You can
redirect into a file, but, if the file system is slow (which is it on
Plan 9), then you sooner or later can't keep up. Tuning the queue will
only let you hold off the day of reckoning, in the hopes that your
traffic is bursty.
If you could grab a raw disk partition, and have a way to just dump
the raw packets on it, that might be your best shot.
