Why do you think that? readfile() "Reads a file and writes it to the
output buffer." [http://nl3.php.net/readfile]. So it doesn't use any
memory in php other than:
-the buffers to read the file and write to the output buffer.
-the output buffer _if_ output buffering in php is set to on, not
something you want to do in these kind of scripts...
