Thank *you*! This has been really interesting, and your explanations have been very helpful in understanding what's going on. The mmap idea has been around for a long time, and it's great to have some real data. By the way, do you have the option of timing things with an executable on a local disk? I think that's a very commonly used configuration these days. (I always avoid linking via NFS if I can, and I'm kind of lazy about that sort of stuff.)
