Subject: [9fans] Are there disadvantages to walk?
Date: Mon,  1 Apr 2019 06:27:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <97c201cb-5fa3-4da2-a540-8eb8740544e4@www.fastmail.com> (raw)

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?
