BTW, to forestall at least one case of inevitable and pointless
nixpicking, yes, many (but not most) of the many hundreds inode
accesses above, especially the 'stat64's (which is used to do
'access(3)') are repetitive so even from cold start they will be
cached after the first.

Anyhow, the unique accesses to possibly far flung inodes that
remain are still an obscene amount.
