Yes, I know. I don't advocate this in the default case. The normal mode
if the db fits into memory I would not change anything. However it might
be possible with clever inline functions to add an optional slower layer
for the small boxes with zero cost for the mmap case. Small NAS boxes
are really important for us.
If I gave such a thing a try, and assuming I get anywhere, would you
consider taking a look? I'm not sure I will spend much time on this
soon, but I would like to know whether that's a doomed attempt right
from the start. lmdb is just too cool to ignore :-)
