Subject: [ruby-talk:10778] perform. of Dir["**/*"]

Now that someone has straightened me out on the use of **, I have a
performance question. Running the following script on my C: drive took about
497 seconds. The drive contains 32701 files. Is this slow?

def testme
  a = Time.now
  puts Dir["**/*"].length
  b = Time.now
  puts b-a
end

thanks
