Ok...
How about CFExecute with
dir /s /t:w /o:D /A:-D | FIND "30/07/2003"
You probably going to need to tinker with this to get exactly what you want
and you're still going to have to parse the output, but its pretty quick.
Just remember that the number of subdirectory is going to be a factor in how
long this processing takes, which ever way you end up coding this. If
you've got hundreds of subdirectories then you're highly unlikely to meet
your 15 second processing limit.
