Ahh, well it's being written into pretty constantly because I get mail on the list pretty consistently, so it must be cached. But in that case, I would assume most of the mail directories would be cached since they are being accessed all the time anyways. If they were being stat'ed every so often then it should remain pretty fast since it wouldn't have been long since the last stat, right? > Out of curiosity, what filesystem is that directory on? reiserfs 3.6 Cheers, -- Casey Allen Shobe | SeattleServer, Inc.
