sometimes i wonder why does explorer listing 100k files in a path can take minutes.

And searching the whole disk for a partial filename? tens of minutes.

I can do both in a database on the same machine in seconds...

You might like Voidtools Everything, a free tool that does partial filename searches in milliseconds. It's incredibly useful for finding files.
