Have you disabled the "NTFS Last Accessed Update"? I've always found this
to help considerably on machines where folders can have tens of thousands of
files.
Disable by going to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\
CurrentControlSet\ Control\ FileSystem" and setting a new DWORD called
'NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate' to '1'. I believe you'll have to reboot
afterwards.
