load_file() in omega/loadfile.cc (part of the pending Mime2Text lib) calls

  posix_fadvise(fd, 0, 0, POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED);

once, before closing the fd. In order to minimally impact the filesystem
cache, I suspect it should call that after each read()?

Also, the read buffer is only 4KB. It might be considerably more efficient
if sized to the filesystem block size?
