Dear Sirs,
please try this file:

-----------------------------------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/env texlua
--*- Lua -*-

local testfile=('testfile')
local use_lpeg=false

function split (s, sep)
  sep = lpeg.P(sep)
  local elem = lpeg.C((1 - sep)^0)
  local p = lpeg.Ct(elem * (sep * elem)^0)
  return lpeg.match(p, s)
end

fh=assert(io.open(testfile, 'r'))
while true do
   local line, rest = fh:read(2^13, '*line')
   if not line then break end
   if rest then line = line..rest end
   if use_lpeg then
      local tab = split(line, '\n')
   else
      local tab = line:explode('\n')
   end
end
fh:close()
-----------------------------------------------------------

Reading the file into memory this way is extremely fast and efficient
in regard to memory consumption.

I have to split the string "line" into lines.  This can be done either
by string.explode() or split().

When I use the lpeg based function split(), everything is fine, though
it's slower than string.explode().  But when I use string.explode(), I
see in xosview that memory consumption is steadily growing while the
program is running.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
