I'd be against (and I think Tom too) putting any kind of FS-specific
optimisations in Arch. Checking the FS is not enough, under FreeBSD for
instance, we don't have hashed directories on-disk but with UFS_HASHDIR in
the kernel, an in-memory hash table is maintained.
This is clearly an OS-level thingy, not an application one.
