Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Finiding Files with Perl or awk? Post 302944470 by cjcox on Tuesday 19th of May 2015 02:05:07 PM

I doubt seriously you'll be able to magically speed things up. Find isn't a slouch. There's only so "fast" you can make an exhaustive search. Now... if you can change the logic of whatever you are doing so that there is a way to do a fast lookup of the file, then fine...

(e.g. whenever I create a *.aps I create a name-value pair in my high speed indexable database... or something else)

PLIPCONFIG(8)															     PLIPCONFIG(8)

NAME
plipconfig - fine tune PLIP device parameters SYNOPSIS
plipconfig interface plipconfig interface [nibble NN] [trigger NN] [unit NN] DESCRIPTION
Plipconfig is used to (hopefully) improve PLIP performance by changing the default timing parameters used by the PLIP protocol. Results are dependent on the parallel port hardware, cable, and the CPU speed of each machine on each end of the PLIP link. If the single interface argument is given, plipconfig displays the status of the given interface only. Otherwise, it will try to set the options. OPTIONS
nibble NN Sets the nibble wait value in microseconds. Default is 3000. trigger NN Sets the trigger wait value in microseconds. Default is 500. PLIP speed can in some cases be improved by lowering the default values. Values which are too low may cause excess use of CPU, poor inter- rupt response time resulting in serial ports dropping characters, or in dropping of PLIP packets. Changing the plip MTU can also affect PLIP speed. NOTE
If you get no response it is far more likely the irq is wrong and needs setting with ifconfig. The few cases where the default parameters will be too fast are those using very long cables. Something you should never do as the parallel port is not specified or designed for driving long cable runs. SEE ALSO
