Heh, "heating" works too - the more you use memory, the more it heats up :)

I'm assuming this is inside "class File:" and you have class members
for your constants like header size? There's no context for the name
"File" otherwise.

What happens if, after hashing each file (and returning from this
function), you call gc.collect()? If that reduces your RAM usage, you
have reference cycles somewhere.
