'find' is rarely the fastest way to list all the files in the project. Have you timed it alone?

'git ls-files' is usually much faster, and that's what 'project-files' uses under the covers.


I don't see a big difference: find takes 0.006 s, git ls-files 0.002 s. Okay, that's three times slower, but those four milliseconds are not the bottleneck here. I just ran some of the timing tests again, and they are about ten milliseconds faster with git ls-files, which is not a huge difference. (Of course I do not object to the use of git ls-files.)


So if you redo your test with 'project-find-regexp' as I suggested, you might discover a different slowdown multiplier.


I wanted to first time these things outside of Emacs, it seems to me that it's a more objective comparison.
