Based on some of the comments regarding Perl versus Python, and just to
see what would happen, I re-ordered the script to use a seperate thread
(one at a time) for each file scan.
It's fast! And it doesn't use up as much cpu time, for some reason. I
confess, I have no idea what's going on there - but it does work!
If anyone feels like playing with it here's a link:

And thanks for everyone's advice!
