Description

In #276, fman 1.0.0 was made ten times faster to make it possible to work with folders containing a few thousand files. That improvement is a start, but fman needs to become faster still. The goal of this issue is to make it so it's possible to work with folders containing tens of thousands of files without significant performance issues.
