lat_mmap  times  how  fast  a mapping can be made and unmade.  This is useful because it is a fundamental
       part of processes that use SunOS style shared libraries (the libraries are mapped in at process start  up
       time and unmapped at process exit).

       The benchmark maps in and unmaps the first size bytes of the file repeatedly and reports the average time
       for one mapping/unmapping.

       The  size  specification  may  end  with ``k'' or ``m'' to mean kilobytes (* 1024) or megabytes (* 1024 *
       1024).
