Even if you would implement something like the Unix "find" or "ls"
programs, they would be more likely to be limited by I/O and all sorts
of file/directory attribute lookups than code page conversions of file
names.
============
1) I/O is heavily cached on modern a-lot-of-RAM machines & 2)
conversion eat CPU & L2/3 caches & 3) conversion penalties grow
rapidly on servers because of exausting resources mentioned in 2).
