Being able to mmap large files, even if you don't have the memory to hold them completely is a great advantage. Address space isn't just about physical memory.

This! I hope that 32 bit processors will soon be history and we will be able to use mmap (+ madvise, fadvise, etc) instead of read/write without having to worry about portability.
