So, what might account for this embarrassingly dramatic disparity?
Does BSD have an incedibly better inode cache? Is this a known
bug? Is it fixed in the next release? :-)

We had a rather poor cache of file system objects in 2.0.x, yes.

For this reason, I'd be really interested if things are the same with
one of the current 2.2.0 pre-release kernels.
