When we open file, ext3 or ext4 file system seems to sequential search

Are you really? When I put large number of files in same directory and
open, it is very very slow. But open directory is not.
The first file name resolution is slow, but subsequent resolutions
typically happen from the dentry cache. (The cache is not populated
when the directory is opened.)
