I guess this makes sense for another reason as well. Looking at your

(a single file bucket of a 4 GB file) I think the current

can consume an insane amount of virtual memory in the httpd process
as it
transforms the file bucket into mmap buckets while reading the file
bucket
to store its contents in the cache.
Taking the 4 GB example this kills a 32 bit process.
This is another long standing problem that this change would fix,
definitely.
