Hi Stephen,

        How much memory do you save with mmapped files? Sorry if I miss that
info in your description.. Assuming sizeof(StoreEntry) on your system is S:

        mem = S * #entries;
        mmapped = 28*#entries + X*#entries;

        mmapped/mem = S / (28 + X) = ??

If we are talking less than ~20MB for, say, 20GB cache, then, maybe, the
savings are negligible considering the price. Also, does the "packing" of
entries introduce any processing overheads?

Thanks,

Alex.
