Just by the way, if the latest version somehow uses mmap without my
having noticed, then I've ontroduced a red herring. ;-)

Version 0.3 certainly didn't use mmap. As I understand it, this means
that the performance hit, whatever the magnitude, would be noticed with
larger files.

I've copied the author, who's probably in the best position to give you
hard numbers. :-)
