StorageFolder.GetFilesAsync() takes long time

[majinsoft]

Hello all,
When a directory (StorageFolder) is having 5k+ files the call to GetFilesAsync() take many seconds.
Is there a way to speed-up thing? I already tried the API FindFirstFileExFromApp() but then I need to convert the path to a StorageFile to use it in UWP and this take even more time at the end.
Thank you

@majinsoft from your post, it sounds like the performance issue you are seeing is with the actual OS API itself rather than CsWinRT. I would encourage you to provide that feedback in Feedback Hub so that the appropriate team gets the feedback. With that said, some of the comments from Raymond here may be useful depending on your scenario or you might be able to use other Win32 file APIs together with FindFirstFileExFromApp rather than converting to a StorageFile if this is an WinAppSDK app.

It´s an UWP app, so I can´t call any Win32 file API. I sent the feedback with the Feedback Hub, but just checking here if can be something related to CsWinRT. Thank you.
