@mobusr: In this instance (collections from directory structure), the limiting factor is the crappy flash memory used by the PW (i.e., IO), not the CPU, so doing this from a desktop or the device itself shouldn't be drastically different (in LS's case. In CM case there are Java mysteries on top...) [especially since we'd be doing it with code in the exact same language (Python)].

The only potential issue that I can see is that you *might* hit memory consumption issues with very, very large data sets when doing that on the device, but if you have that much entries, the device would already have been slowed down to a crawl anyway ;D.

gawk will speed up KUAL, nothing else.
