IMVHO, I think at least part of the speed increase is based on the fact

A brief search found most of the files on my harddisks are *never*

I noticed I can find out files that were never accessed after the 1st
month I installed my debian without any accounting mechanism but only by

How do you determine the atime without accessing the file, or keeping
some sort of accounting? How do you update
