Rather than using inodes instead of names to make things work faster,
I suggest you instead speed up name to inode translation. (Look at
the 4.3BSD changes document in the Proceedings of the Summer '85
Usenix.)

exec by inode might be neat, but you'd have a terrible time keeping
the inodes straight! I can just see the mail now:

Subject: Emacs doesn't work anymore
I can't seem to run Emacs anymore. Why?

Oh. Sorry about that... I recompiled it; now it's inode # 15252.
Try that instead.
