Is it just me, or did Kenneth Brody say:

Well, an env var defaulted to off would be cool in this instance, good
point.

As for the stat() call, that's likely not what degraded performance.  You
said "on some systems".  I'm betting it was when there were enough files
present to drive them into double redirected inodes.  In which case it's
not actually stat() that's at issue, but the FS structure hampering the
speed of readdir(), is it not?
