You would have to check the system call activity behind this command. You might find that the cp command recognises that its output is invalid and never does the reads from the source file. Secondly note that the kernel will read-ahead when the first byte is read from a file, to the tune of quite a lot of blocks. Thus every single read apart from the first one comes from RAM anyway...
