Why not just use std.mmfile to memory-map the file into memory
directly? Let the OS take care of actually paging in the file
data.

The files are on disk and there is an external program that read
them and converts them and then writes the converted files to
disk then my program reads. Ideally the conversion program would
take memory instead of disk files but it doesn't.
