Will mounting on a symbolic link cause excessive overhead?

I'm running SunOS 4.1. Currently, I have a /usr and a /export/exec
partition. It would simplify some things if I could combine the two
(perhaps by moving the contents of /export/exec to /usr/export/exec and
making /export/exec a symbolic link to /usr/export/exec). My clients
would continue to mount /export/exec/... for their /usr partition.
Will this cause nfsd to traverse the symbolic link everytime a client
accesses something on its /usr partition? As I understand it, that would
be less than efficient.
Please email your responses; I'll post a summary if asked. Thanks for any
wisdom on this.
