geting filesize over network is slow, I am wrong or what?

[sartic]

I am guessing speed is cca 30 files per sec over network.
For files lof is faster than filesize (but i need also to detect folders).
Any idea? (have to be multiplatform)

Set up a server on the main computer and a client on the other computer and let your "server" look for the files.
Windows SAMBA network file thing is rather slow and good for single files - but for a lot of files it gets slow..

I tried examinedirectory method but it is same speed as filesize.
Geting filedate is also slow. I was wrong for lof; after retesting it is same (slow) speed.
