Christian, I've sent you an e-mail (in two parts) to the support ghisler punkt com titled
"The solution to the slow reading of the directories with a lot of files"
You can change a few lines on the critical points in your code and enumerate the files much faster (in milliseconds instead of seconds!) at least on every Windows 7 and later.
Both the directory listings and file searches could be immensely faster.
Edit: I've done more tests, it's not always observably faster, but only in the directories for which the OS stays "confused" by default like for c:\Windows\servicing\Packages However for that given directory the difference is 15 seconds on my machine by default vs 25 milliseconds with the speedup. Sorry for making too general claims initially. Tip: the difference can be observed with cmd.exe, "dir" is much faster, "dir /x" is as slow as the current Total Commander, when performed in c:\Windows\servicing\Packages.
