i don't kon whow long your "ages" is but around these parts, it is only a few 
minutes... i regularly use find to search a directory tree containing over 1 
million files...

dolphin just took 3:45 minutes to tell me the tree in question contains

  89.5GiB (96142214237 bytes)
  1828253 files, 46454 sub-directories

said tree is the generated scenery for the entire world used in a flight 
simulator... it would be larger, much larger, if all of the OpenStreet Maps 
data were included for all areas... as it is, only a few areas have had OSM 
data built for them and added to the distributed scenery...
