It appears that netatalk's weakness (or is it AppleTalk's weakness) is
in opening and closing files then.

Well, right off the bat there's a big hit because you've got two Unix
files to open for every Mac file.
There is a native hfs for Linux. Last I heard it was able to mount
Apple harddisks read-only. Seems like hfs r/w capability and netatalk
would be 'perfect together', although I don't know how the
resource/data forks look to Unix processes.
