Summary:   When find is examining a directory, after it has statted 2 fewer...

Original Submission:  Relating to: " When find is examining a directory, after 
it has statted 2 fewer subdirectories than the directory's link count, it knows 
that the rest of the entries  in  the directory are non-directories (`leaf' 
files in the directory tree).  If only the files' names need to be examined, 
there  is  no  need  to stat them; this gives a significant increase in search 
speed."

Cool, so it would also be cool if a find with no other stating requirements 
besides '-type d' would also take advantage of a similar optomization, which as 
of 4.1 it does not.

Thanks!
