Right, I *was* looking at the man, which is why I was confused. It 
doesn't say why this would help, though; does it somehow allow Cygwin to 
skip the fstat() call? Also, why *is* fstat() so inefficient? Can 
anything be done about it?

I *am* going to play with them, if I can convince Cygwin to let me 
*un*mount the path. :-)
