Um, why? Once one filter mmap's the thing, it stays that way until the bucket is deleted or the bucket gets sent out onto the network. It's not like mod_include says oh, I ended up not doing anything to that bucket, so I can map it back down to a file, right? So mod_include leaves it as an mmap which it passes down the filter chain right away. Only once it goes out on the network do we munmap it. Granted, we might then have to mmap the next 4MB of the file when we return up the stack, but I don't see that as a problem.
