I have a VPS and my host told me my VPS cannot use mmap because it is Virtuozzo based. Is there a workaround? I have some large dictionary files (one is 70 MB) used by java jar apps, and I want to load them into memory to speed up their loading.
Currently it takes on average 2-3 seconds to load this file, and I am hoping this could be made faster.
Any tips?
PS: A friend of mine told me I could copy it into /dev/shm how about that?
