So why does the DBF("myCursor") function always refer to a file on disk ???
Of course when a cursor is small, the cursor also exists in OS buffers (Thus memory), but when paging occurs (because of the length), it will be dropped from the OS buffer (or only for a part) but still will be hold the Temp file.
