I agree with you, but dont forget that this micro benchmark does not really measure the overall effect on the system (i.e. to other programs, to the number of meta data updates, cach useage) and it does not take into account slow or unreachable path components (nfs). So it might be actually noticeable on normal systems (I doubt it). Just dont stop anyone volunteering from fixing it. I for one are happy if the strace of a process keeps readable in finite time, so do system administrators with auditing turned on.
