Re: [PATCH v2] Huge performance boost for recursion (cp, du, find, ls, rm, mv)

Thanks for trying to help. It's OK, I realize that someone already 
"merged it" with my original code locked in an #if 0 block and a 
differently optimized version applied without credit, so I consider this 
matter closed. Please feel free to purge it. I'm not interested in 
contributing to the project further.
