Why do we _have_ to write the file to disk? I wonder if it would work to store the file in a mmaped memory region and have the readers get data from there. We could have more than one copy, reference-counted so that they can be removed when the old readers are gone. Are MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS mmapped regions portable?
