Subject: Re: is lots of files with Threads faster?

Take a look at the wide finder implementations on Tim Brays blog.

It's quite interesting to see over there how little IO was a  
bottleneck. (Which seems to have been repeated a number of times here).

Whilst the test environment is probably drastically different from  
your own, it might be worth looking at how some of those solutions  
solved the problem, and also give you some good reading on the topic.
