stat is about 100 times slower than readdir

wget https://annas-archive.org/dyn/small_file/torrents/managed_by_aa/zlib/pilimi-zlib-12160000-12229999.torrent
mkdir mount_dir
btfs pilimi-zlib-12160000-12229999.torrent mount_dir
sleep 5 # wait for init

time ls mount_dir/pilimi-zlib-12160000-12229999 | wc -l
# 61189

time find mount_dir/pilimi-zlib-12160000-12229999/ -type f | wc -l
