The github page mentions that a naïve mmap approach is bottlenecked by per-page overhead. Can this be mitigated by setting up explicit "huge" pages? (2M using the CONT PTE feature if the "native" page size is 16k; 32M using a PMD level block mapping; or 1G using the CONT PMD feature.) Does macOS support this out of the box? Alternatively, one might use a simple mmap and then something like posix_fadvise to set up prefetching of the data.
