I'm using Mandrake 8.0/Cooker with kernel 2.4.3, and ReiserFS 3.6.25,
on a PII 450Mhz, 256MB RAM.
I've tried your Perl script, and so far it's still going, load average 
hasn't reached
2.0, there is about 4megs RAM free, and the script is using 90% CPU.

It has taken about 10 mins to get to directory 105, thats 3440640 
directories,
or 5734 directories per second, not bad eh.
