Comment on Lightning Memory-Mapped Database Manager (LMDB) 1.0parent

The OS handles all of that transparently, without requiring any additional code. I think that is the draw.

And that's adequate for casual programs. LMDB is big and serious enough to warrant the extra complexity (which, to be fair, is significant) of userspace buffer management. LMDB does the work once and all users benefit.
