QUOTA don't have much overhead. After actually reading the paper about their
design and implementation, I activated them, back then, on the old Sun4/390
server serving a dozen sparc1/1+/ELC machines, with no visible impact.

On the contrary, suddenly it was possible to get a users disk usage within 
a few ms, instead of with 5 minutes of du -s .
