What prompted me to suggest this is the fact that "/usr/doc" tends to
be listed with `dired', `tkdesk', `mc', or `httpd' quite often. Every
time I open a `dired' buffer on it, WWW to it, or open a `tkdesk'
window there, the disk grryyyehzzzd-dzz-grryyyehzzzd-dzz-grryyyehzzzd's
and greeeyow-whine's. (sic) Then it takes a certain amount of time
for `dired' or `tkman' to cons up its internal data structures to hold
the directory.
I thought that with the directory broken down some, this will be
reduced.
`find' works well with the directories subdivided. And typing an
extra '/s/' won't kill me, if I know right where to find what I want.
