    The SmartIO class allows one to put a cap on the memory consumption.

    if they are too big the memory footprint becomes noticeable.
    The write method of a SmartIO determines if the data that is to be added
    to the (initially) StrintIO object does not exceed a certain threshold; if
    it does, it switches the storage to a temporary disk file
