AFAIK, all performance issues have been resolved. The pathconf issues was only resolved recently, but the need for directory iteration to cache status was fixed quite a while ago, as were interface changes so that several status queries regarding the same file don't result in disk accesses unless so desired.
So you may want to checkout the current CVS head to see if whatever performance problem you were seeing is still an issue.
I happily stand corrected. I checked out the CVS tree, and ran a modified recursive version of the simple_ls.cpp example, and ran it against the boost source tree. The resulting run times on my system were on par with find(1). Nice work, and thank you. - Chris
