I looked into it a bit, and it does -- it just appears that the stat
cache on our client is small enough that using tla with a tree of
significant size thrashes it; indeed, it looks like a
much-larger-than-default stat cache size is likely to be useful for good
performance on AFS-using sites.

Mea culpa for the misinformation.
