I wonder how many of those opendir events are actually userspace 
requests not themselves initiated by the daemon?

I'll investigate this a little further!

What were your thoughts about frequent opendir events, many users, or just 
many ls commands?

Perhaps a map needs to be considered up to date for some amount of time 
after a map re-read?

Thoughts?
