FWIW, ExtFile only serves one chunk at a time and does not load the entire file into RAM. Don't know about LocalFS though.
It looks like every time you request a particular file from LocalFS, it instantiates a fresh OFS.Image.File from the filesystem data. For large files that seems likely to be expensive, but I haven't checked. Once the File is created it will serve chunks as usual. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky!
