This will hardly increase performance if any. Note that OS caches frequently used files in-memory. When you are using this, you are basically competing with the OS for in-memory file cache.

This library might have other uses that I am not aware of.



are there embedded systems, including potentially realtime, that are running OSes or on CPUs that don't provide caches or page fault support?


In those cases, the filesystem provides its own block cache.
