Subject: cvs vs mount points

Precedence: bulk

cvs usually begins by lstat'ing all parent directories up to "/" and
then all entries in "/".  There are usually a lot of mount points in
"/" and lstat'ing them can take a long time if their vnodes are not
cached.  E.g., my IDE cdrom on /b takes a couple of seconds to start
up.
