The reason it's slow is that the directory contains so many files, using
java will probably be faster but it will still be awfully slow with a
directory that has 120k + files in it. I don't think java file objects
can be filtered to only choose the 1st 5k files, e.g.
File dir = new File("c:\\directory");
String files[] = dir.listFiles();
This will return an array of ALL files in a directory, which would very
probably be just about as slow as cfdirectory when the directory has
that many files in it.
It would however be fairly trivial to loop from 1 to files.length() and
use file[index].renameTo(newDir) to move the files, but you still have
the problem of retrieving the 120k + files into the array, which is
where your speed problems come from.
I'll whack together a test class for you if you want, but it may not
help much. You would be better off looking at the process that creates
the emails in the 1st place, perhaps it could create them in a new dir
for every 5k emails, name the dirs something incremental, and then every
X minutes, move the content of the oldest dir into the smtp pickup dir.
Should be a much faster approach but it I guess it all depends on wether
you have control over the process that creates the mails.

have you looked at any java to replace cfdirectory? plenty of examples
in the java almanac:
