Hi Sean, I have tested Performance of function fileexists(). This function is not not a bottleneck. Also in a directory it doesn't search inside other folders.
Following scenario i used to test this: 30 Vusers for 10 mins trying to hit some randomly generated filenames(some of them do not exist). I observed that young gen and average heap size was almost constant during the run and heap size comes down as young gen GC was called.
