skip-bytes: func
[
{Skips a number of bytes on an open port, to work around the
open/binary/direct skip bug. THIS SHOULDN'T BE NEEDED!!!}
p [port!] {The port to skip on}
i [integer!] {The number of bytes to skip}
/local ofz rem-off

[
rem-off: i
until
[
ofz: either rem-off > 100000 [ 100000 ][rem-off]
copy/part p ofz
rem-off: rem-off - ofz
0 >= ofz

return p

is what I am using in Rebletta, the webserver I'm developing. Here, mem
usage is still low and it skips 100Mb in 0.7 secs (2.2 Ghz PC with WinXP)
Which is slower that a skip would be, but workable for now.
