The problem you have reported definitely has to do only with "LocalFS"
and Zope, not with Apache.

Yes, but it may not be that much.

Without the "filestream_iterator"s, the complete file is read into
memory and then delivered through a temporary file again.
This is deadly for file with a size in the order of GBs.

However, our "LocalFS" version (we still use "LocalFS 1.3") reads the
file anyway (to determine its size). If this has not changed until
"LocalFS", you will not loose that much.
