I think the next major change that is needed fairly soon is to be able to mmap parts of a large pack file (even with 32-bit offset). I haven't loooked into it deeply enough but it may or may not turn out to be beneficial if we map at fixed location so the requirements of "working mmap()" might change. I'd be happier if you held onto this part of the patch before that happens.
