Summary: NTFS file listing is slow

Initial Comment:
With TSK 3+, TSK is searching the MFT for every directory being listed to find unallocated entries that point to that directory as its parent.  This turns out to be very slow for large file systems. The results should be cached so that each time a directory is listed, it does not need to rescan the MFT.
