	$ /usr/bin/time find . -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -name work > /dev/null
	find: -mindepth: unknown option
	        0.00 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys

:-)  (it's a netbsd-1-6 box -- I didn't know the min/maxdepth options
were in the NetBSD-3 find until just now, but then again this thread
started out with the idea of making the command as portable as possible,
since pkgsrc gets used on a heck of a lot more than just NetBSD)


13:05 [95] $ /usr/bin/time gfind . -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -name work > /de=
v/null
       14.90 real         0.08 user         0.96 sys
13:06 [96] $ /usr/bin/time gfind . -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -name work > /de=
v/null
        0.31 real         0.03 user         0.26 sys
13:06 [97] $ /usr/bin/time gfind . -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -name work > /de=
v/null
        0.44 real         0.08 user         0.22 sys

(first run is the first access of that tree in a day or so)

That's much closer to the shell glob speed at least, within an order of
magnitude or less.
