Your OS does that for you.

That’s why it does not make sense to cache it again and why there’s no point in running varnish on local files.

AFAIK, you can get a speed-increase if you have either FreeBSD+ZFS+AIO compiled into NGINX or FreeBSD 11 + nginx 1.11, which uses a special sendfile implementation to maximize deliver-speed of local files.
