There are always comments like "you can slurp the file as long as it's not too big" or "becareful not to slurp a really big file or you'll be in trouble".
So what I'd like to survey is what would be what the safest max size of a file that one should ever slurp and why? (IE if you have 128 MB of RAM and try to slurp a 768MB file that'd cause issues) (IE if the max file size on your system is 2GB you may have isseus slurping a 4 GB file.)
