Does recursive directory increase entwine build time #310

Closed Mboga closed 1 year ago

Thank you for the great tool. I have noticed that data providers of laz files might store their data in recursive directories ( e.g. more than 5 levels) while others in non-recursive directories.

I was wondering how the processing time for building an Entwine Point Tile through the entwine buildcommand is impacted when the *.laz files are contained in a recursive directory ~/data/**as opposed to a non-recursive directory ~/data/*.

Thank you for your response.

I don't think this should cause any difference in performance - the input directories are only listed one time and afterwards only the full filenames are used. If you find an issue here you can open a ticket with details.
