On my system it uses twice as much CPU as plain old ls in a directory with just 13k files. To recursively list a directory with 500k leaf files, lla needs > 10x as much CPU. Apparently it is both slower and with higher complexity.

Not trying to “gotcha” you, but I would imagine that 10x the CPU of ls is still very little, or am I wrong?

Will definitely prioritize optimization in the next releases. Planning to benchmark against ls on various systems and file counts to get this properly sorted.

But it’s written in rust so it’s super fast. Did you take that into account when running your benchmarks? /s
