I know the remote share is responsible for a good part of the overhead, but I am accostomed to finding 3-4x differences in speed trying the same thing in sed, awk, perl, etc. When searching for a faster find on line there are some enticing mentions of perl being particuarly fast/efficient.

Even a 2-3x improvement would help tramendously.
