`read_from_disk` memory-mapped the file and then copied the entire
mapping into a `Vec` to hand to `File::from_bytes` — but `File::open`
memory-maps it itself whenever the facade's `mmap` feature is on, which
it is by default. So every open mapped the file, memcpy'd all of it, and
parsed the copy.
Store open at 100k x 384: 455 ms -> 327 ms, about 28% faster (two runs
after the change, 326.8 and 328.1 ms).
Peak memory is unchanged, which is worth saying because the opposite is
the natural assumption. The footprint harness now tracks a high-water
mark next to the retained figure, and it shows the peak falling after
the parse, during the index build — so a buffer allocated and freed
inside the parse never reaches it. Confirmed rather than assumed:
holding a deliberate extra copy of the whole file across the parse
leaves the peak exactly where it was, which is also what proved the
instrument was working before trusting its answer.
