I guess /tdd/general/performance is a reference: a symbolic link or an automount point.
For a symbolic link you can use
find -H /tdd/general/performance
The -H follows a symlink in the given start directory.
An automount behavior is implementation-specific.
Regarding the Linux autofs, I have seen that a first access to a bare directory name returns the unmounted/arbitrary attributes but then fosters the mount; a subsequent access returns the attributes of the mounted filesystem.
In Solaris an access to a bare directory name immediately mounts then returns the attributes.
A trailing / ensures a directory; this always fosters an early mount.
