AFS Directory search was really really bad. I've improved things for files that are known to exist but if you are searching a large number of directories containing hundreds or thousands of files for an entry that does not exist things are still pretty bad. I've written before about the desire to have the AFS client convert the AFS directory structures into B+ trees. I want to do this specifically so that these types of searches will have performance on par with a local NTFS tree search. Jeffrey Altman Secure Endpoints Inc.
