It is not more than 80% full. The speed problem is most noticeable when 
asking for a listing in the directory with the 7000 subdirectories. It is not 
uncommon for that command to take 30 seconds to a minute or more to 
complete from the CentOS5 hosts. It doesn't take more that 5 seconds 
on the Solaris hosts.

I haven't been collecting those long-term but at the moment the 
ratio of data hits to data misses is about 1 to 3. The ratio of 
metadata hits to metadata misses is 80 to 1.
