Is vim trying to buffer every line in a terminal window permanently ?

What will happen if I monitor some server log by 'tail -f 'in a vim's terminal 
window for 7x24h ? (forget to exit vim, or alway let vim open for a long time).

like apache accesslog.

Will vim consume infinite memory to buffer all the accesslog ?

All I care about is the latest 100-500 lines of the accesslog.

Is there any option to set the terminal buffer size ? 

Can old lines get removed if max line number exceeds the terminal buffer size ?
