I am using the following to separate a bunch of text from a 110MB txt file:




But when I looked at AHK's memory usage, it is 232MB, instead of being around 120MB considering FileRead loaded the file in memory. Is AHK using another variable for Parse Loop?

Yes, a parsing loop does make a copy of the text:
In your case, a file reading loop would be superior in both performance and memory use.
p.s. this thread should probaby be moved to 'Ask for Help'
