you could resolve that question with some System.nanotime dumps.  How
long for first to show up relative to others. IIRC is builds the array
then feeds it to the Filter, but that could just have been someone
explaining how it works conceptually.


I do know that Java takes a lot longer to span a disk than C .
Building the array first means less native code needed for
multiplatform implementation.
For most applications, you need to run every file name through the
filter so it does not matter which you do first. You would save
building File objects for items not passing the Filter.
