    That –at best– gives you the same performance.

    EDIT: Ok, I misunderstood – you meant the performance of “case insensitive in kernel” vs. “case insensitive in userspace”. I get your point now.

      No? Either the application implements its own case-insensitive index, or you’ll have strictly worse performance than an implementation in the file system. The application would have to make multiple syscalls (which have a fixed overhead).
