Sigh :-(. Removing optimization prematurely is the root of all evil :-(.

Sigh :-(. Removing optimization prematurely is the root of all evil :-(.

Sorry for the mistake, but the LastDir singleton cache in vfs_ChDir()
actually plays an important role. When we're processing a stream of
SMB1/SMB2/SMB3 requests we don't want to add a chdir()/getcwd()
system call pair on every request if they're all on the same connection
and dealing with the same base path.

I did some testing with a program that times 1,000,000 chdir()
requests vs. 1,000,000 strcmp requests and it's a penalty of 10x
doing the system calls.

Just because it's old code, doesn't mean it's bad :-(.
