but you don't have a LD_LIBRARY_PATH, a MANPTH, or any number of
other search paths. Or symlinks. What is the total length of all
of your paths plus symlinks?
Also, is the size of the namespace list an issue?

Google's approach is not to bother sorting things out. Use searches
to find data you want. You can still do some sorting in things like
gmail, but you don't need to.
