I presume you are talking about memory mapped files.
Ideally, I'd like to stay away from them, as they are 
not portable and our code needs to potentially run on 
some rather nonstandard computers (e.g. PlayStation).
But maybe there is some hybrid solution that can work
with memory mapped files for when they are available.

Thanks.
