I doubt if it would work out faster. A quick test of

 time ls -lR > null

gives 166 ms vs. the 179 I get from the non-recursive tree walker - so by the time you gather that output, and re-format back to something more usable, I think you'd probably come out the same or slower.

I wonder if shelling out to DIR on Windows and LS on Linux/Mac wouldn’t be the
