A simple "man find" would help you.
Code:
find /opt -name vijay

Do you have the appropriate read/execute permissions in that directory and/or on the file(s) that you seek?

Might be.. but in anycase, the result shd come fast.
Try searching the file in the opt folder first and see how much time it is taking . Command: ls -l vijay If you are able to get the folder then come back to the parent folder and give the follwing command find opt/ -name vijay If it taking the same amount of time, then as you said it might be the overhead if not there is a problem of permission.
