Thanks.  I pushed this, with tweaked log.

ignored, so using it can have no effect on performance.

 @cindex memory mapped input
 This option is ignored for backwards compatibility.  It used to read
 input with the @code{mmap} system call, instead of the default @code{read}
-system call.  On modern systems, @samp{--mmap} rarely if ever yields
+system call.  On modern systems, @code{mmap} would rarely if ever yield
 better performance.
