Well, it might be acteptable on local filesystems (even though ext3 is very bad in lookup path informations; xfs and reiserfs is much faster with that) but if you use geeqie with an external filesystem like nfs or ftpfs or sshfs (fuse filesystems) then it is horrible to have that many stat calls. Even local filesystems will profit of less stat calls.
