If you're using filefield (which in D6 you should be), then the resume file 
won't even be loaded from disk until you try to use it.  The rest of the node 
will be, but if you're just offering the resume file for download you just 
provide a link to it and you're done.  It gets stored on the file system where 
it belongs.
