I think I have a reporting protocol in place for my extreme testing of LFN with FAT32.

Below is a sample of how I wish to report back to you.

I created batch files LFN.bat and LFN2.bat for DIR C:\ and C:\FREEDOS\BIN\ respectively, which shows the start/finish times to do the DIRs, firstly for doslfnMS and then doslfn.

Are the screenshots sufficient information for you to gauge relative performance of doslfnMS with doslfn?

I was a bit lazy, so instead of writing times down, I adjusted the command prompt to show the highest resolution time.

I plan to use this format for all my extreme testing.

The batch file(s) is below

With my batch method above - I was wondering if a cache of the DIR is going to impact the second and third DIRs? i.e. 1st time for DIR would be "long", but if DIR table is now in cache, subsequent DIR of the same folder would be both shorter and the same time to do.
