+	"The RCU-based name lookup is at the other end of the spectrum - the
+	absolute anti-gimmick. It's some seriously good stuff, and gets rid of
+	the last main global lock that really tends to hurt some kernel loads.
+	The dentry lock is no longer a big serializing issue. What's really
+	nice about it is that it actually improves performance a lot even for
+	single-threaded loads (on an SMP kernel), because it gets rid of some
+	of the most expensive parts of path component lookup, which was the
+	d_lock on every component lookup. So I'm seeing improvements of 30-50%
+	on some seriously pathname-lookup intensive loads."
