Well 20-30 secs is not too long, but still it's a lot of time. Keep in mind that while processing the file you are not watching the directories. Therefore if someone uploads/modifies a file while you are processing another you might miss it. So most probably you should test whether there's something new after you process the file and start watching again only if you find nothing new. And maybe even search for new/updated files once every X minutes even if no change was noticed. Just in case.
