I try to solve performance problems with czech tsearch. I checked
serialization and deserialization, but this decrease load time only to
100ms (from 500) that is too much for us. After some gaming with mmap
I thinking so there some chance to preallocate mmap memory, and then
use a special memory context based on mmap instead of malloc.
Teoretically I can copy aset interface - this module probably never be
in core (this problem is probably local - only Czech), but it isn't
nice. So I asking.
