I haven't used this within Emacs, but when I need to "find" across a big
set of directories, I use the windows find. It is fast. I assume it
has its own indexing which allows for the speed.
When I know something exists in a particular small subset of
directories, then I use Emacs because I can then immediately view and
edit with my editor.
