Your observations are currect as far as ext2 is concerned; by the time
you get to ext4, it's a bit more complicated. Also, the
extN_bg_has_super() has in general not been a bottleneck, at least on
modern CPUs. Perhaps it would be more of an issue on a PIC
microcontroller, of course.
Finally, note that the overhead is cached so it is only calculated the
first time the extN_statfs() is called.
