hi,
renaming 1000 files to lowercase should be done in 30 seconds ...
(assuming the 1000 files are the only ones in a directory on a local disk)
have you tried to run the script on another machine ?

I wrote a script to covert 1000's of filenames to their lowercase
equivalent.  Worked fine but got slower and slower over time until 4 hours
after I'd started it running it was really slow (mouse not moving properly).
Nothing else was running at the time.  Anyone else experienced this??
 
Also Ive noticed that if you create a big wordlist -
 
for words in `ls *.h*`; do
 
causes a windows protection error box to appear
