help on most efficient search

Hello,

We have a directory with 15 sub-directories where each sub-directory contains 1.5 to 2 lakhs of files in it. Daily, around 300-500 files will be uploaded to each sub-directory.

Now, i need to get the list of files received today in most efficient way. I tried using "find with newer option" and also the "ls -ltr with tail" but both are taking long time to provide the list of images received today.

Please advise me on the most efficient way (should take least time possible) to find today's files.


TIA
Prvn
