I was mainly thinking of this for symlinks
because they are generally really short.
Actually, for symlinks it would be really
easy because you cannot edit a symlink, you
have to delete it and recreate it, so the size
never changes.
Ofcourse they may have already been done, but
I don't think so AFAIK.
This would save a seek and a read for the symlink
because the data is already in the inode.
Comments?
