tFindFile slow ?

I've been using tFindFile for many years with great pleasure.
It's very nice to see, how complex file searches are much faster with tFindFile than with the regular explorer ;-)

But now I'm simulating a slow network, by using a slow computer as a server. And I find tFindFile very-very slow.
I'm using v3.53.
I do a simple search for files *.*, in 10 directories from a for-loop, tested both netwrek drive / UNC-path.
This takes 20 seconds with tFindFile (running in non-threading mode).
If I use the default FindFirst / FindNext (Delphi-7), the same search takes less than 2 seconds.

Is this the normal behavior ?
Any ideas to increase performance ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki

Sorry for bothering everyone,
but I made a mistake (did much less search with normal findfile),
indeed the netwerk is slow,
not tFindFile ;-)

cheers,
