stat() cache
============
A stat(2) can be expensive, caching it saves time adn context-switches..
Instead of stat() for the existence of the file you can stat() it once and
monitor the directory the file is in for modifications. As long as the
directiry doesn't change, the files in it are all the same.
With the help of FAM or gamin you can use kernel events to assure that
your stat-cache is up to date. ::
server.stat-cache-engine = "fam" # either fam, simple or off
