Indeed. Fortunately Russ' code was very clean, but if you turn on
tracing you get quite a surprise. Here we are concerned about
optimizing 9p. The amount of fuse traffic for simple operations is
astounding. You stop wondering "why?" and just try and cope. I'm not
dumping on fuse - it does fill a gap - rather I just don't wish to
look at its implementation.
