On the other hand, how long did it take you to do the directory tree walk required to find those million paths? I'll bet a long longer than 0.78 seconds, so this gets lost in the noise.
About 2 minutes. But that's just getting an example data set. Other data sets may be loaded more quickly from databases or files or be created by processing. Reading the example data from a file takes around the same time as sorting.
