Just to clarify, this is for when the chown will modify all files owner 
attributes

eg: toggle all from frank:frank to hadoop:hadoop (see below)

for chown -R from frank:frank to frank:frank , the results is only 5 or 6 
seconds.


at this point , all files  under /home/frank/proj100  are frank:frank,  and the 
command executes
in 6 seconds or so.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ time /home/hadoop/hadoop-0.18.1/bin/hadoop dfs -chown -R 
frank:frank /home/frank/proj100

real    0m5.624s
user    0m6.744s
sys     0m0.402s

#now lets change all to hadoop:hadoop

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ time /home/hadoop/hadoop-0.18.1/bin/hadoop dfs -chown -R 
hadoop:hadoop /home/frank/proj100

real    12m43.732s
user    0m53.781s
sys     0m10.655s


# now toggle back to frank:frank

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ time /home/hadoop/hadoop-0.18.1/bin/hadoop dfs -chown -R 
frank:frank /home/frank/proj100

real    12m40.700s
user    0m45.757s
sys     0m8.173s

# now frank:frank to frank:frank

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ time /home/hadoop/hadoop-0.18.1/bin/hadoop dfs -chown -R 
frank:frank /home/frank/proj100

real    0m5.648s
user    0m6.734s
