Have you profiled your code to see what calls exactly are taking the most time? I have a feeling it's these:
isFilePackageAtPath kLSItemInfoIsInvisible kFSNodeLockedMask kFSCatInfoCreateDate kFSCatInfoContentMod kFSCatInfoBackupDate kFSCatInfoAccessDate And parsing "ls" output won't get you these (besides, parsing "ls" is a dirty hack anyway). You probably want to try dropping down to CFURLEnumerator and asking it to prefetch the desired attributes. Or, if you're targeting pre-10.6 then FSGetCatalogInfoBulk().
