I'm working under Cygwin64 in a all-Windows corporate environment. (This utility runs side by side with the data aquisition software allowing users to edit run names, comments, validate/invalidate/exclude data. The propritary software is so user unfriendly and clunky (I guess that's what the thousands of dollars is for
). I happen to have special privilages on the share drive I am using for development but won't for the deployed system.
ls is plenty fast but I can't do the recursion. Not sure what other commands are out there. On the plus side, I have some really fast hardware to run on

part of it is windows file sharing. It takes about 0.6 seconds vs 45 seconds on my local machine. However, find itself is dozens of times slower than ls.

I'm living with find
find "$dataDir" -type d -name '*.aps' -printf '%T@|%p\n' | sort -nr | cut -d"|" -f 2 ("|"being an windows disallowed path character) until one of the forum Awk or Perl deities pops in
It is taking no longer than the find itself (~45 seconds).
