What is the present status of attribute/inode/directory caching under
freebsd? When performing a 'du' of even a relatively small hierarachy,
the second 'du' appears no faster than the first and the drive can be
heard to thrash around in exactly the same manner.

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely  exercised for the good of its victims  
 may be the most  oppressive.  It may be better to live under  robber barons  
 than  under  omnipotent  moral busybodies,  The robber baron's  cruelty may  
 sometimes sleep,  his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who  
 torment us for own good  will torment us  without end,  for they do so with 
 the approval of their own conscience."    -   C.S. Lewis, _God in the Dock_
