When you have 1m in files (that's a count, not a size), it takes quite a while to scan through the whole tree. If we had a .oldest file in each branch, we could skip that branch if nothing had changed. Then all we would need to do is scan the tree once to set these branch-stamps. After that, all the cache machines would have to do is walk the tree looking for newer stamps. <br><div> </div><span style="font-family: courier;">--- </span><br style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: courier;">Wayne Johnson,
