Sounds good. I'll look into mmap. Never had to use it before.
mmap is actually quite simple to use. It makes an open file accessible like regular RAM. So after you mmap()ed the file, you treat it just as if it was in memory. If getting, setting, appending a record by its number and finding a record in a sorted file is enough, take a look at my database implementation (searchdb.h and dbmacro.h). While the macro magic is probably hard to understand, using it is quite simple. But writing your own implementation using mmap() shouldn't be hard, either.
