find is going to bring all of the inodes into memory reg

Correct - Intel Xeons.

I need to add -
Hi,
I'm not certain JFS is the culprit here, but at least it's a suspect :-)
I have a 150Gb filesystem on software RAID5 with JFS117, kernel 2.4.28. The
box is a 4way 500MHz Xeon with 2Gb.
I do a find in a directory that contains 5-600,000 files - which just
about makes the box grind to a halt
