I am enumerating thru large numbers of files on my disk, and find I cant come close with findfirst / findnext to matching the speed of cmd line apps available in linux :eg ls / du

I have a fairly tight file search function, and dont see how to gain more speed

Would anybody know what the limiting factors would be ?

does the operating system keep an index somewhere ?

Thanks - SteveG
