Have you actually written the code and measured how long it takes? Or
are you guessing?
How many directories and files do you expect this code to iterate over?
Also keep in mind that the iPhone uses an SSD, with zero seek time.
Keep in mind the programming principle:
"Do the simplest thing that could possibly work"
(and then measure and optimize and iterate.)
