Everything is a file of sorts... map is just ram with filesystem backing. 

You can put large stuff that you don't continuously access into ram (which 
will then be paged out -> swapfs) or you put it into a temp file (either 
tmpfs->swap or disk). However you call it, large data that is not 
continuously accessed must end up on the disk because thats what it is good 
for.
