Does 2.2.1 or 2.2.5-BETA have a good mmap() (ie: fully functional, good
performance) or if not does 3.0-current?

I seem to recall reading at some point that the mmap() in earlier releases
wasn't quite up to scratch, but I can't remember which version was
recommended.  I'm moving a server to FreeBSD which has a very heavy
dependence on very large size/quantity mmap()'s.

Also, does FreeBSD's mmap() require swap to back up the maps?

Thanks.
