Sure, this is one sentence.
The primary issue is still solidly in embedded dev, RAM size.

Regarding mmap() in mainstream CPUs, in most applications, data or 
data manipulation will be massively larger than bytecode size. I 
doubt mmap() will result in any kind of performance gain, since 
bytecode reads still contends with data and objects in the 
D-caches of the CPU -- none of that I/O behaviour changed. I don't 
see any big win...
