On a SUN3/160 running SUN 3.3 with QUOTAS compiled in but not used
(at least for now):

	1000 * /usr/ucb/quota:
      		492.1 real        43.4 user       158.5 sys  

	1000 * /bin/true:
      		268.0 real*       37.5 user        63.1 sys  

The overhead of the loop (done is csh) should be minimal.
* we were running with a high load tonight.
