The Windows filesystems (FAT, NTFS) are notoriously slow with a large number of files in a dir. 1000- 5000 files seems to be a limit for stat(). access() is also much slower if you have inherited ACL's or large ACL lists Does it run significantly faster with less then say 500 files? -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
