While doing some testing of readdir perf a while back,
I noticed that the buffer size we're using internally is
smaller than what glibc gives us by default.  Upping this
size helped a bit, and seems safe.

glibc's __alloc_dir() does:

  const size_t default_allocation = (4 * BUFSIZ < sizeof (struct dirent64)
                                     ? sizeof (struct dirent64) : 4 * BUFSIZ);
  const size_t small_allocation = (BUFSIZ < sizeof (struct dirent64)
                                   ? sizeof (struct dirent64) : BUFSIZ);
  size_t allocation = default_allocation;
#ifdef _STATBUF_ST_BLKSIZE
  if (statp != NULL && default_allocation < statp->st_blksize)
    allocation = statp->st_blksize;
#endif

and

#define _G_BUFSIZ 8192
#define _IO_BUFSIZ _G_BUFSIZ
# define BUFSIZ _IO_BUFSIZ

so the default buffer is 4 * 8192 = 32768
(except in the unlikely case of blocks > 32k....)
