Oh yeah, Annoy is definitely mmap'ed i.e. you can use the index without loading the index file into memory. And that's very useful.

As far as I can see, Voyager requires you to load the index into memory and doesn't (yet?) do mmap. Which... would make sense since you can change the data after loading the index. So, Voyager index files are fully loaded in memory..? Do I have this right?
