Actually it doesn't necessarily read in all the properties. Similarly
to comparing the contents of a file first the size of the prop-base is
compared to the props file for the file/dir, then the date, and the
finally it will load the prop file and compare them.

In order to give you what you want we'd have to load the prop file for
every status. Which has the same ugliness that people have mentioned
about the contents of the file.
