Thanks for the suggestion. In my case, I actually need to get the
LastModifiedDate provided by cfdirectory. I can work around the problem by
calling some Delphi code a coworker created, but I'd like to see the problem
get fixed. This really shouldn't be a problem. In this particular case I'm
only retrieving 1 file, however, this issue would affect any filtered
directory listing.

If you are only pulling one file back, why are you using CFDIRECTORY at
all?
You already know the filename, so you can just use fileExists() to check
if
it's there, and CFFILE to read it in if you need the contents.

Subject: cfdirectory = slow
Where do I report issues with CFMX to Macromedia? I know I'm not the
first
to discover this, but cfdirectory is extremely inefficient when dealing
with
large directories. I don't know if this is a problem with J2EE platform
that CFMX runs on top of or what, but it shouldn't take several seconds
to
do a cfdirectory where I'm pulling only one file back, even if the
directory
has a 100,000+ files in it. It seems like cfdirectory loads the entire
directory contents into memory and then applies the filter.
Below is some sample code if anyone wants to see what I'm talking about.

<!--- Create a bunch of files --->
<cfset vDir = "d:\test">
<cfset NumberOfFilesToCreate = 100000>
<cfif NOT DirectoryExists(vDir)>
<cfdirectory action="" directory="#vDir#">
</cfif>
<cfloop from="1" to="#NumberOfFilesToCreate#" index="i">
<cffile action="" file="#vDir#\z#i#.txt" output="This is file
number
#i#.">
</cfloop>
<!--- Get File Info --->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<body>
<cfset start = GetTickCount()>
<cfset tmp = Randomize(right(start, 8))>
<cfset fileIndex = RandRange(1, 1000000)>
<cfif FileExists("#vDir#\z#fileIndex#.txt")>
<cfdirectory action="" directory="#vDir#" name="dirTest"
