What about using depmod -a instead, how much would it cost? AFAICS it
only needs to walk trough the directories and stat the files without
reading them.

This is what's being done currently, as far as I know, and it takes
around 3 seconds in a Pentium 3.  It takes longer in a slower machine,
obviously.
