The findutils developers seem to be an exception to this. In my =
correspondence with them they were pretty firm about not adding =
overhead. Their goal was that any features added that were specific to =
afs, cifs, etc should not add overhead to systems that did not have that =
filesystem type. I can't speak to how well they succeeded, but that was =
their goal.
