Uhh, it does use file modification time, if the mtime hasn't changed
it shouldn't diff the file. Not sure if dealing with the entries file
can be improved or not, it's always possible though.
Honestly though, perhaps having a directory that contains 12k files in
it isn't the best idea in the world... Splitting it up would almost
certainly improve things.
