You could at least demonstrate that doing the async calls you mention are in fact improving the time it takes to gather the necessary information vs. a sequential implementation. No Cygwin hacking is required to do that. As it stands, you are assuming it does, but have shown absolutely no data. I would counter that NTFS is not a fast filesystem in any way, shape or form and in my experience does not respond with all that much scaling if hit with parallel requests (that also depends on the type of device targeted). But I too have not looked at the exact same sequence of calls that you are proposing to do asynchronously. So again, data needed… care to provide some?
