Well, sort of, but the parts of CP that want to read the directory don't 
know that.  :-)

The directory is memory mapped into the CP execution space (I think) and 
is paged in on demand, so a second reference might find the needed parts 
of the directory already in memory.  I don't know all the gory details.
