Correction: 

>>> with open("tmp.txt") as f: lines = f.readlines(0)
...
>>> len(lines)
1000000
>>> with open("tmp.txt") as f: lines = f.readlines(1)
...
>>> len(lines)
301
>>> len("".join(lines))
8208

So on my system file.readlines(size) stops after about 2**13 bytes which is 
not a problem memorywise. Sorry for the confusion.
