More than likely, Jason was hinting that he's actually using Phil Wood's 
Linux MMAP-enabled pcap at http://public.lanl.gov/cpw/.

From Phil's page:

"What's with this libpcap-0.8 stuff?

The suffix on the libpcap tarball stands for the year, month, day that 
the mmap code was merged into the tcpdump.org release."

Well, if I'm correct above, maybe not in the way you first thought.
