Are file system mounts costly?

[Reynolds McClatchey <rey@xxxxxxx>]

I recall a kernel parameter on Unix System V of number
 of mounted file systems. Max recommended was 8.
 Larger numbers slowed down inode location and
 impacted performance.

Has Linux solved that bottleneck? Are 20 or 30 mounted
 efs and cifs file systems on one system OK?
