Otherwise I would guess that it would be hugely slower due to the need to read the disk while reading directories. But if there is sufficient ram for filesystem buffer cache then it will be operating at memory speeds. For anyone trying to recreate this goodness but wondering why they aren't seeing it then check that the buffer cache is sufficiently large. Bob
