Thus it should not automatically be assumed that use of tt(mapfile) represents a gain in efficiency over use of other mechanisms. Note in particular that the whole contents of the file will always reside physically in memory when -accessed (possibly multiple times, due to standard parameter subsitution -operations). +accessed (possibly multiple times, due to standard parameter substitution +operations). In particular, this means handling of sufficiently long files +(greater than the machine's swap space, or than the range of the pointer +type) will be incorrect.
