Josh Smith from the Ubuntu mail list responded: "Find doesn't cache per
se but the file system does."

I'm curious about this observation: If I do a find search on the root
directory, it ordinarily takes a minute or two -- as one would expect
if it were examining everything afresh.
But if I follow that up with a different find search on the root, it
finishes in a few seconds.
Does find cache file system information and reuse it under certain
conditions? Or does Linux itself cache some sort of information from
an initial search that a subsequent search benefits from?
