It also benefits from being able to handle much larger files. I haven't use
mmap() in years, but I'm guessing if you mmap() a 10GB file, you are gonna
have a bad time. I suppose the C version could be modified to mmap()
chunks. That's a log of complexity though and we're talking about
differences of milliseconds in runtime.
