Comment(by dd32):

 > well that "temporary" variable in that case is even not needed.
 I meant more in general of the handling, I think i've seen one or 2
 locations where a copy is returned in some form whilst a temporary
 variable is left about elsewhere.

 > it would make sense to use temporary files in suche cases instead of
 using the memory.
 True, Except that most of hte HTTP methods can only return a full item,
 rather than blocks of it, it'd mean duplicating the code.. As for
 unziping, I cant remember, but i have a feeling it may only use a string..
 Not entirely sure, I know i've done it a LOT more efficient in another
 project i'm working on in terms of memory usage, havnt gotten around to
 considering porting any useable changes back to WP yet though..
