The only memory that is in use is the amount required to store the file 
contents. When you empty the variable, that memory is released. The 
actual I/O process of opening and reading the file is handled by the 
engine and you don't have to worry about that, it does a very good job 
of managing RAM allocation.

As long as you aren't retaining the file contents in a variable, you 
should be able to open/read/close an unlimited number of files without 
any problem.
