Awk is incredibly much faster (more noticeable for larger list.out files) - and handles filenames with spaces, but I'd change it slightly

Code:
awk -F/ '{print $NF}' list.out

0.05 seconds for 8000+ files, versus 6.3 seconds using xargs.

(not that I'm a fan of the UUOC club - it took the same time with or without cat!)

It's even quicker than sed (0.09 seconds)
Code:
sed "s+.*/++" list.out
