I don't really know VBscript, but there are some things I notice:
- You open the file that you just created *and still have opened*.
Maybe the lookups should be done in a second loop and/or another script.
- IIRC Win32 still uses timers (with HZ=150?), so you'll get time readings
only with 7ms granularity.
So it might be better to do 1000 lookups and measure their cumulative time,
with different numbers of entries in the directories.

Could you please create the files, and try to access some (in *random* order)
in another script?
Regards,
Phil
