Open mouth, insert foot.  Sorry about that, I was thinking of memory vs.
files (which, given memory mapped io isn't that different) and totally missing
a rather basic feature of parallelism; namely that you don't have to dump
out everything before the next guy starts reading it.

responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate 
everyone else's.
