Larry Hastings <la...@hastings.org> added the comment:

It's amusing that using fwalk and throwing away the last argument is faster 
than a handwritten implementation.  On the other hand, fwalk also uses a lot of 
file descriptors.  Users with processes which were already borderline on max 
file descriptors might not appreciate upgrading to find their os.walk calls 
suddenly failing.

Can you figure out why fwalk is faster, and apply that advantage to walk 
*without* consuming so many file descriptors?

No rush... :)
