I got fed up with the amount of time it took for the windows dir command to come up with a list of files in a large directory so I wrote a tool used for obtaining a full catalog of files that exist under a root directory. The goal here is to get the full path and byte count as quickly as possible. My approach was to spawn as many threads as the host machine would allow, each of which is responsible for cataloging a subdirectory of files.
