It sucks for BK too. Some times NFS is unavoidable. In the best case (see previous email wrt to only stat'ing the parent directories when you can) for a current kernel though you can get away with 894 stats --- over NFS that would probably be tolerable. After claiming such an optimization is probably not worth while I'm now thinking for network filesystems it might be.
