No joke, the system had over 350Mb cached, it was definately not touching disk while accessing this directory. If it were touching disk I bet interactive performance would have been better.
2.0.x or 2.1.x, this is very important. The dcache in 2.0.x performs several orders of magnitude worse than in the 2.1.x kernel. Also, you could have long buffer cache hash chains, so experimenting with increasing the size of the buffer cache hash table would be interesting.
