My version of "find" is always accessing (stat'ing??) all files, not just directories no matter what. I'm using GNU find version 4.2.20 on Windows2000. For testing purposes I'm using the simple mode of: find f:\ -name junk.txt and it is extremely slow. It ends up opening every file on f:\. Documentation implies that when using just the -name parameter that exectuion is faster and docs point out that stat'ing is only done when necessary. I'm NOT proficient enough in C to debug this, but is it possibly always requesting stat() no matter what? Sysinternals "filemon" confirms OPEN and QUERY INFORMATION for all files during the "find" run. Essentially this behavior makes find impractical for searching over very large directory structures on Win32. FYI: Both the Cygwin and an old unxutils version of find do the same thing. Also I've tried this on two systems. Any ideas?
