Besides the slowness of file IO, it also doesn't make sense to have a
shared memory area f
I suppose it won't help here to suggest using memory mapped I/O, because
someone will complain their platform doesn't support it. I wonder though if
there could be an optional patch to use mmap for all disk I/O, not just
shared memory!

Unless GFS offers access bandwidth approaching main memory speeds, this
idea is sheer folly :-(
