This is a backport of relevent changes to the 2.3 APM driver. It

I'm sorry, but I can't believe those numbers. It takes longer than 1.6
seconds to stat all the kernel directories unless the BK machine has a
huge disk cache. It sounds like the BK server was a much more powerful
machine.
Use treescan for fast stat preload :-)

I don't arguee if the test was fair or not.
david and does not include a "null update", as that is an atypical usage pattern

That's a benefit [for BK] of having changesets, I only need to compare

We have a hack in BK for this, at least I think we do, where we can look at

If you are volunteering to maintain the MANOS debugger after I hack it
into Linux, then I accept. I'll give you an ftp and telnet account on
vger.timpanogas.org and you can run with it.

The timing is typical over repeated tries. The GCC tree contains 98.1
megabytes of data in 9105 files, 532 directory. A little more than
Linux (but I don't have an unpacked fresh tree to count for sure).
I'm not going to try touching all the files.
Conclusion: CVS is pretty fast when
