What's needed is a WBench that lets you do other things while the directory
is being read, like my filename requester. Sigh. Anyhow, within a few
months there will be caching soloutions to the directory speed problems –
the problem now is that "addbuffers" works at a sector level, and doesn't
know a sector is in memory that has directory info in the trackdisk buffer.
So it does a seek, reads another sector, does a seek back to the same track
again… Anyhow, a bit of code on top of trackdisk.device will solve all
woes for anybody with enough ram to keep a few tracks in memory.
