--- Comment #7 from Garance A Drosehn <gad@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #4)

Just how much overhead is there in IPC?  It's easy to see that a local cache
will beat the caching done by a separate nscd process, but why would using =
nscd
be so much slower than doing a totally non-cached look up of the user and g=
roup
names each time?  Doesn't that seem a little odd?

And the local-to-stat caching:  won't that only help if many commands are
'stat'-ed in a single command, as opposed to doing many stat-commands with =
one
file per command?

Does 'ls' do local caching?  If there is a big benefit in doing local-cachi=
ng
in 'stat', should we also do it with 'ls'?  I know I do a lot more 'ls -l's
than I do 'stat'-commands of any kind.
