Yeah it does. iconv buffers everything in memory, as I recall.
However, you can "split" the file into manageable pieces, run each
through
iconv, and recombine afterwards.
Another way is to just use GNU recode for large files instead of iconv.
It's slower but doesn't need much memory, contrary to iconv that indeed
seems to want the entire stream in memory before proceeding.
