Unless the underlying filesystem is mounted with `noatime` then the system will keep track of and update a file's 'last access' time stamp with every `read` operation. Even if the filesystem optimizes this, it makes little sense to track this information for NuDB files that can be accessed tens of thousands of times per second. If the `O_NOATIME` option is defined, we set it when attempting to open or create files.
