Hello Bartolomeo,

Just a guess:

/usr/bin/find . -type f|xargs md5sum

(Background: I expect the execution of md5sum to take much time. Thus,
with the xargs approach, I make sure the md5sum is called less times,
with more than one parameter each time - which will *hopefully* decrease
the time)

HTH,
Spiro.
