Beware that some distro vendors and performance mavens are starting to
recommend that the "noatime" mount option be used to increase disk
performance.  Before using 'find -atime', check if your filesystems are
mounted this way and "test in an inconspicuous area" to see that the
result is as you expect (I'm pretty sure that "noatime" will break it).
