I think that Fload may be hacked so it caches misses. If the cache
is flushed on every redisplay, this is pretty safe,
Yuck! Flushing `load' caches on redisplay is pure randomness.
At all, stats on NFS are known to be very expensive. XEmacs probably
needs some general filesystem caching mechanism.
Attempts to implement one already exist -- see `locate-file'. Maybe
the existing stuff should be made more intelligent, somehow?
