I was chatting with tchrist (the perl guy) today and he mentioned that
BSD does a better job of very large directory handling than Linux. The
suggested test was to create a directory with 10,000 files in it and
compare

ls -l
ls -l first_file
ls -l middle_file
ls -l last_file

under both BSD and Linux.

Has anyone done this? If this is an area where we need some work, I'll
add the appropriate test to lmbench.
