I wonder why not use nginx and some local DNS settings to just serve all these local services under a new, local URL.

Not too long ago I had a similar issue and solved with that.

Neat tool, but I noticed it shows that modules are mostly supported when they are at best partially supported. You can double check with the famous "Are we modules yet?" website.

If I got it right, it was a high schooler that posted. So I guess that's not an option
I didn't read the source, but from the description it says it uses memory mapping. So my guess here is that IO isn't so much of an issue since prefetching can hide away the latency if you are able to memory map a large enough segment of the file.

Iff the statement about prefetching is true though, I wonder how the prefetching wouldn't be bamboozled by the multiple threads accessing the file.
