It only is, if your OS supports mmap() of large files.

The store itself is not affected. The metadata (swaplog) however, *is*.
I probably forgot to mention it, but running with the MMAPSTORE
patch enabled means that the format of the swaplog files changes (rather
drastically).

I.e. either someone needs to write a converter (not really difficult),
or the swaplog file needs to be ditched before switching formats (both
back, and forth).
