The FAM API is about reporting changes, but not how files changed.
It is relatively expensive on large directories unfortunately:

I will try to reduce the CPU usage in gamin but we lack kernel support
which would make that easy.
On a related note, is there a way to prevent FAM from locking up
writable removable media? Sometimes - but not always - when using FAM
in conjunction with Nautilus, I get unmount errors and have had to
killall -9 fam to proceed.
