use the built-in FileExists() function - it returns a simple true or false.
As for processing time, I've not seen any performance hit from using it, and
it processes faster than loading a plain HTML web page. On the other hand,
if you are checking the existence of a few hundred thousand files, then yes,
it may take a bit...

Subject: Checking for a files existence?
Does checking for a files existence use up alot of system resources? Does
it take a long time?
