Directory lookup will only read required blocks in the directory instead of entire directory. Indexing the same 100 directories of 10 MB each in 9.2+ reduces this to around 200 MB of RAM. You will notice in "wafl scan status" a "directory index creation" scan. A frontend call (lookup/create generally) will cause ONTAP to notice that the directory is greater than 2 MB and index it.
