If there's a large number of files, it's faster to:
find . -type f | xargs chmod 644
find . -type d | xargs chmod 755
Or even, (if you like dirty stuff like I do)
chmod 644 `find . -type f`
chmod 755 `find . -type d`
Much less CPU needed to do it this way, since there's only 2
fork-exec's, instead of one fork/exec per file.
