In programs that uses stat() heavily, it seems a huge amount of CPU
cycles is wasted in _is_executable(). If I do:
 _djstat_flags |= _STAT_INODE | _STAT_EXEC_MAGIC | _STAT_DIRSIZE;

the speed increase is tremendous. Since most program use f?stat()
as-is, I which there was a environment variable that would do the same as
above. Does it make sense if crt could do it based on a $DJSTAT_FLAGS ?

BTW, it's a bit clumsy to have the logic backwards. I.e. 
(_djstat_flags & _STAT_INODE) *should* get the inode number.
