Log:
Rewrite to consume significantly less memory, by using find -s instead of
find | sort. As a bonus, this simplifies the logic considerably. Also
remove the bogus "overruning the args to ls" comment and the corresponding
"-n 20" argument to xargs; the whole point with xargs is precisely that it
knows how large the argument list can safely get.
Why use xargs at all? The "-exec ls -liTd {} +" primary would do the
same thing.
You would end up executing ls a lot more times with the extra overhead
for fork() etc. per file.
I think "-exec ... {} +" collects as much arguments before executing
just as xargs does. This is different from "-exec ... {} ;" which execs
for each argument.
