The only complaint I've had about walk was the expectation
in the protocol that servers produce the list of Qids all

I remember hearing of some disadvantage to walking directories, but can't remember what it was. Could someone remind me, please? Perhaps there was more than one, of course. Perhaps a performance trick couldn't be employed?
