Why not use sfind if you like a faster and more powerful implementation?
sfind is based on libfind which is also used by mkisofs and star.
Do you plan to fix the "defective by default" behavior of GNU find?
GNU find ignores POSIX directory semantics and for this reason will not
find all files in case that the filesystem does not implement a hardlink
count == 2 + num-sub-dirs for directories. This bug e.g. appears with most
CDs/DVDs, where GNU find typically only finds entries in the root dir.
