Subject: Can you speed this up?

I often use ruby to run through one set of files and then look at
another and if they match then I delete a file, append them.. whatever.
I'm relatively new to ruby so I always want to improve the efficiency of
my code. Here is working code that I used to append two files in
seperate folders and place them in a finalpost folder.

How could I improve my code?

Temphome = Dir["P:/project/post/Temphome/*.pdf"]
Temprep = Dir["P:/project/post/Temprep/*.pdf"]

  Temphome.each do |filetemp|
    Temprep.each do |filerep|
      filerep = File.basename(filerep)
      filetemp = File.basename(filetemp)
      if filerep == filetemp
        cmd = "P:\\project\\bin\\pdftk.exe
P:\\project\\post\\Temphome\\#{filetemp}
P:\\project\\post\\Temprep\\#{filetemp} cat output
P:\\project\\post\\Finaltal\\#{filetemp}"
        puts "Appending #{filetemp}"
        `#{cmd}`
      else next
      end
    end
  end

  puts "Finished Appending, the new files are located in
P:\\project\\post\\finalpost"
