opening this file in vim:

-rw-r--r-- 1 shlomif shlomif 608170649 Feb 12 12:19 Total-Imp3.txt
shlomif[3fc]:~/Download/unpack/games/freecell/freecell-pro-3fc-deals--split$ wc Total-Imp3.txt
55946300 55946300 608170649 Total-Imp3.txt
shlomif[3fc]:~/Download/unpack/games/freecell/freecell-pro-3fc-deals--split$
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

takes 10% of my 8 GB of RAM, so I guess vim loads the file into RAM.

There is no IGLU Cabal. The problem of founding an IGLU Cabal has been proven,
in a surprise move, to be equivalent to the question of the existence of God,
fully‐tolerant religions and NP‐complete oracles. — Omer Zak
