        chown and chgrp now accept POSIX-mandated -H, -L, -P options and
        use fts to perform a directory traversal when -R is specified.
-       Before, they used explicit recursion, and as such were limited by
-       the user's stack size to handling hierarchies no deeper than
-       about 30,000 levels.
+       Before, they operated on full path names, and as such would
+       encounter the PATH_MAX (often 4096) limit.
+       They are more efficient.  For example, before, chgrp -R would
+       take almost 5 seconds to change about 2000 directories and fail
+       (with `File name too long'), while now it succeeds on a hierarchy
+       of depth 20,000 in 1/10 the time.
