Maybe we can do some manipulation inside memory - I have not any knowledges about mmap. With Simple Allocator we can have a dictionary data as one block. Problems are a pointers, but I believe so can be replaced by offsets. Personally I dislike idea some dictionary precompiler - it is next application for maintaining and maybe not necessary. And still you need a next application for loading. p.s. I able to serialise czech dictionary, because it use only simply regexp.
