More detailed explanation from ChatGPT. As quick estimate you could achieve a >2x speed up using memory mapped files for a typical assembler workload.

Why would anyone be interested in arguing against a confused AI?

In any case, if you really believe mmap is great for an assembler, then sure, go ahead. But it's not.

I implemented an assembler as part of VMware thinapp and this was big performance boost for me but maybe you have a different experience from your efforts?

[Sesse__]

Yes. (I'm not going into a pissing contest.)
