I was wondering how such performance can be achieved on windows as I noticed snowberd is even faster than DOS "dir" command, even in mapped network drives...?
Any idea what algo/technology are used to get such fast directory browsing...?

I guess the most proper way is using Windows Shell stuff.
Maybe dir command is slow because of screen output overhead? When I do "dir >output.txt" I don't see any significant performance difference with file browsing software.

I have no idea what "Snowbird" is, but, as an experienced software developer, I know that screen output is very costly.
