If its simple to compile and works as a drop in replacement AND is faster,
I see no reason why PostgreSQL shouldn't try to link with it.
Keep in mind though that in order to use MMAP or AIO you'd be
restructuring the code to be more efficient rather than doing more of the
same old thing but optimized.
Only testing will prove me right or wrong though. :)
