That's a great question. Simple tests show that Finder can handle a
folder of a million files in about 2-3 minutes (more than twice as
fast as what I described in my original email).

Depending on what your purpose here is, you might also benchmark how
the
Finder handles increasingly large directories, and set that as the
bar to
match or beat somewhat. In other words, if a directory is so large
that it's
impractical to use in the Finder, do you really need to be fast at
that
size?
