I want to get the files and sizes and times etc. stats of a dir fast.
os.listdir & iterating with os.stat seems not to run at optimal speed for network folders. Is there a faster possibility? (both for Win & *nix ; best platform independent)

An alternative is to work with os.walk() it returns a generator - see

os.path.gettmtime() - see http://docs.python.org/lib/module-os.path.html
