well, that is the projection of file in memory. only projection, but
the memory is still acquire. It is ok to rework this part and project
something like 128MB and loop. (in fact the code is needed for 9.0
because segment can be > 1GB, I didn't check what is the optimum
projection size yet)
So both yes at your questions :)
