Ok, what I'm going to do here is push out a 3.8.21 later today. I will revert to the old behaviour, however this will have a info.plist flag that allows you choose the new mmap performance since it does gain a few hundred milliseconds of time on a launch.
The new behaviour has I believe these two bugs which are show stoppers for general release. (a) Save image when image is on a NFS drive, does not work. VM locks up, image file is truncated. (b) Sporadic reports of image write failing when on local hard drive. I will retain the new behaviour for the iPhone VM since the saving is on the order of seconds.
