      The specific example I have in mind is, If I read the beginning of a 200MB file, then seek ahead by 100MB and read again, what happens? Does the driver stupidly stream through 100MB of chunks, downloading all that data batch-by-batch from the server, until it reaches the proper chunk? I think the driver saves itself the effort of creating a new cursor in that case, but at great cost in network bandwidth....
