You can get rid of all the lstats by doing:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymlinks
</Directory>
and making sure that isn't overrided further up.
Also make sure that you don't have an
AllowOverride AuthConfig
or it'll go hunting for .htaccess files.
There's a highperf.conf (or something) in the Apache source
distribution which documents tweaks like this.
