This would be on what OS? What hardware? What size test file?
Do the "iterations" mean so many reads of the entire file, or
so many buffer-sized read requests? Did the mmap case actually
*read* anything, or just map and unmap the file?

Also, what did you do to normalize for the effects of the test file
being already in kernel disk cache after the first test?
