Answer 1

In addition to Screwtape's answer it's also worth mentioning that you should probably limit the block size with .read([block size in bytes])

See lazy method for reading big file

I had real issues with just file.read() without block size size in 2.4 it is possible 2.7 determines the correct block size though.
