When the models directory holds many GGUF files, startup parsed every
model's full GGUF — including the tokenizer vocab arrays
(tokenizer.ggml.tokens/scores/merges, often >100k entries) — once per
model while guessing defaults. On slow storage (e.g. a models directory
on a Docker volume) those hundreds of thousands of tiny reads dominate
boot time before the HTTP server comes up.
The default-guessing path and the VRAM metadata reader only consume
scalar metadata and array lengths, never the array contents. Parse with
SkipLargeMetadata (seek past large arrays) and UseMMap (fault in a few
header pages instead of issuing per-element read() syscalls). For a
256k-token vocab this cuts the parse from ~524k read() syscalls to 8.
The mapping is released when ParseGGUFFile returns.
