Is it necessary to load all temporary files into memory? (onefile mode, windows)

• Nuitka version, full Python version, flavor, OS, etc.:

  0.7.6
  Commercial: None
  Python: 3.10.3 (tags/v3.10.3:a342a49, Mar 16 2022, 12:53:06) [MSC v.1929 32 bit (Intel)]
  Flavor: Unknown
  Executable: D:\Python\Python310-32\python.exe
  OS: Windows
  Arch: x86
  WindowsRelease: 10
  

• How did you install Nuitka and Python pip without virtualenv and python from python.org

• Issue/Question When running the Nuitka onefile mode compiled executable, all files (identical to the contents of the *.dist directory) are extracted to a temporary directory. Is it necessary to have all those files also loaded into memory?

  Maybe this is not really a problem for projects with small *.dist directory sizes. However, if the size is large enough (e.g. > 500 MB) of course it will greatly increase the memory usage. Tested on Windows 8.1, 10, and 11.

Thank you.
