You already know: I never search for others...

It is the one we have had a lengthy discussion about...

CMF 1.4.

The cause for the slowness is the "badOS=os.name=='nt'"
in ".../CMFCore/DirectoryView.py".

I doubt that the comment (yes, there is one) truely reflects
what Windows does. Rather, I expect that the comment was inspired by
the limited time resolution effect (we discussed it for
a long period) that caused test failures.

I am not sure, though, as I do not use Windows...

But even when I were wrong (and the comment true),
there is no need to walk the complete
tree; checking just the content of the current directory (with "os.listdir")
(without sub-directories!) would be sufficient!
