My off-the-cuff guess would be that there won't be much difference since each disk block of a directory will contain several entries, so several directory updates will typically translate into a single disk write later on, which will be the main efficiency consideration. So yes, it sounds to me like an "always-lose" situation.

Perhaps if you have a spare minute you could encapsulate this in a method that I (or anyone else who might need it) can use, to avoid having to duplicate your code? Thanks! |
