I use in a C# program
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(dirname, "*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories).Length;
to count to number of files in a directory(and its subdirectories) on a share. I do this for many directories within a loop.
The problem is now, that after 20-30 calls of GetFiles(...).Length my program is suddenly frozen or becomes very slow.
What could be the reason for that and how can this problem be solved! Are there workarounds?
