Odd.  I have a CD with 856 items (files and folders) and this script runs
in one second:

  #!perl -wl
  use File::Find;
  find(sub { push @a, $File::Find::name }, 'Neely:');
  print scalar @a;
  print time - $^T;

Some information had been cached (I know this because I am on battery, and
on sunsequent runs, the CD did not even bother to spin up :), so I popped
in a CD that this machine had never seen before, with 5243 items, and it
took 24 seconds.

PowerBook G3/400, Mac OS 9, DVD-ROM (I forget what speed it spins CDs at).
