Try "ls" next time or just echo :-)
So you ran:
find queue/mess/*
and not
find queue/mess
The former would cause the shell to sort the 500K entries first
also.
500K files causes around 500K random I/O ops with Sun find and
about a number of sequential I/Os so with GNU find (sufficient to read
the directory)
Disks are not that fast in random I/Os.
