Perhaps not?

I ran a few tests with the benchmark I wrote yesterday, and it doesn't seem to be a useful one. Perhaps if I tweak it to use files instead of directories it'll be more useful. But the charts I get out of it show very slow slides up, with no clear break points. MKDIR functions work nearly linearly, and enumerating the directories also shows very good performance. It still takes a long time to parse through 100,000 directories, but atomicly it works well.

Though, I wonder if files yield different results?

And, doh, I bet I'll get different results when running against a Windows server than a NetWare one. Heh. We'll see.
