Tests on Ubuntu 8.04, Java 1.6, I only tested two svn revisions and
1.7.1 (and used top instead of task manager in my highly scientific
approach to measure memory consumption 8-)

The trends are the same.  Even though the machine is a lot slower than
my work Windows system the times are comparable.  I guess Linux'
tempfs is quite a bit faster than a real NTFS formatted disk.

The pre-tokenization changes have a stronger effect, though.  My guess
- again - is that scanning is stronger I/O bound on the Windows
machine and CPU bound on tempfs on Linux.

It also seems as if I needed to modify the test setup to make it even
larger if I want to compare further tweaks.

Interestingly the effect of followSymlinks=false is far less dramatic
on Linux than on Windows.

I removed memoization of File.list and File.getCanonicalPath (only
local, not yet committed) and it didn't change much, so I'll probably
remove it completely.

I added a new many-roots tests (not part of the timings for "all"
below) that should be sensitive to memoization and pre-tokenization.
