I just went to say that. But less will probably probably spent much more memory than 'more' (it's not a joke ;-)) because it can transparently handle streams (but I think remember that it uses intermediate file to do that). ...Of course. But it could be interesting to use the option -B (and, optionally, -b). By the way, you can try it and, if goes bad, then use more instead. Also, with sed, you may use -u option to avoid buffering problems.
