It is. Try this:

scones% sh
% echo $PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:....
% hash -v
builtin hash
builtin echo
% which ls
/bin/ls
% hash -v
builtin hash
builtin echo
/usr/bin/which
% PATH=/foo:/bar:/bin ls
<some output>
% hash -v
builtin hash
builtin echo
/usr/bin/which
/usr/sbin/ls
^^^^^^^^^^^^ Caching index based on temp. path!!!!
% ls
ls: not found

QED :-)
