I had to, in
https://www.levelextreme.com/Home/ShowHeader?Activator=17&ID=40436, but only for a selected set of folders (still, with about 100-200,000 files). While it was decently fast on local drive, it was just unbearably slow on a network drive (actually a fake network share on linux host, scanned from a W7 virtual box).
The only speedup was that for each folder I'd compare the last update date with what I had in the folders table, and if it was the same, I didn't check the files in it. Still not fast enough, so what you can see in the download is now split into two processes - one to scan the folders, and one to display the files (images, in this case, it's a screen savior) from locations saved in two dbfs.
