Sorry that my last systems programming was DOS-15 on the DEC PDP-9 (which MS-DOS resembled, and of course from which VMS and hence Windows NT evolved), but there usually a requirement to get a buffer for reading or writing a file. So although you don't read it, the temporary file must have a buffer in memory in which the file contents are placed before going out to disk. Nowadays, with virtual memory, it's not a problem running out of (core) memory, but there may still be a limit on the number of files that can be open for reading or writing.
