If it's always the same file then it looks like ExternalFile is the way 
to go, or possibly LocalFS. You want to check that ExternalFile or 
whatever doesn't keep the contents in memory longer than necessary. I 
think there's a CMF version of ExternalFile, and that I posted a link to 
it not too long ago.

And, of course, you can always get at it with your own External Methods. 
If you also want to render them, this might be a good choice. I'm going 
to assume that you already know how you're going to render things, so I 
won't get into details, but I can supply info on how one of my projects 
does this if you like.
