The last time I saw this kind of benchmark, the BSD code were poorly
implemented and did not use the proper functions. That's why it was
slower.
FWIW, the benchmark Charles mentioned *wasn't* poorly implemented. It
is just that enumerating *all* the files and folders on the disk is a
special case where FSCatalogSearch() or the BSD searchfs() API will do
extremely well on HFS/HFS+ because of the way the filesystem works.
Enumerating a subtree is a different operation.
Kind regards,
