    I would be surprised it would add up to much. If I am not mistaken, much
    of the kernel group doesn't care where the file came from. Only weirdos
    like us care. :)
    
    Note, though, that if you want all the filenames, that is easier to get:
    the inode has a list of all the dentries that refer to it.
    
    Not that this should discourage you from the Quest. :)
