tim, i was being sarcastic :) 15 seconds for 40000 files and 2 seconds
for 2000 binds is way better than what the guys in the comments
expected (remember, they haven't seen a working prototype of union
directories, at least not at userlevel, yet).
however, i'd be very interested to see the way the linux guys optimize
their kernel, shall they ever come to fully implement union
directories as in Plan 9 (linux is about doing things better, isn't
it? remember the recent TLB flush flamewar :)
