"Slow" is a relative term. Given that this allocation is only necessary
when we're about to go out to the disk to perform a 'stat' operation, I
believe that the (actually fairly small) amount of time it takes the heap
allocater to pull a chunk off a linked-list is likely to be entirely
insignificant compared to the time required by the I/O.
