Follow-up Comment #1:

The point is that `find` does not have to invoke stat() for
an invocation using the default -print.  Reading the directory
entries is sufficient for that.

One has to use tests or actions which need a stat(), e.g.:

# Prepare some files with different size.
$ touch f0
$ for f in 1 100 1000; do if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=$f > f$f; done

# -ls needs stat().
$ find -D stat -ls
   409613      4 drwxr-xr-x   2 berny    users        4096 May 17 17:07 .
debug_stat (f0)
   394313      0 -rw-r--r--   1 berny    users           0 May 17 17:07 ./f0
debug_stat (f100)
   393551      0 -rw-r--r--   1 berny    users           0 May 17 17:07
./f100
debug_stat (f1000)
   394287      0 -rw-r--r--   1 berny    users           0 May 17 17:07
./f1000
debug_stat (f1)
   393513      0 -rw-r--r--   1 berny    users           0 May 17 17:07 ./f1



# -size needs stat().
$ find -D stat . -size -300c
debug_stat (f0)
./f0
debug_stat (f100)
./f100
debug_stat (f1000)
./f1000
debug_stat (f1)
./f1


Therefore, -D stat works as expected.
