In Emacs alone, there are a few things we could do: - we could mitigate the find bug by optimizing the regexp before we pass it to find; this should basically remove all the overhead but makes the find command uglier and harder to edit - we could remove rare and likely irrelevant things from completion-ignored-extensions and vc-ignore-dir-regexp (which are used to build these lists of ignores)
I like these two approaches.
- we could use our own recursive directory-tree walking implementation (directory-files-recursively), if we found a nice way to pipe its output directly to grep etc without going through Lisp. (This could be nice for project-files, at least)
This will probably not work as well. Last I checked, Lisp-native file listing was simply slower than 'find'.
