Re: Quick count of objects in IFS

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It would appear that IBM are doing the same thing you are - one of my 
favorite pet peeves with the IFS is that it can be inordinately slow - 
some work was done to speed it up with *TYPE2 attributes - but not 
enough - makes it a horrible file server compared to almost any other 
platform, in my experience.
