Here it takes abaout 2-5 s.

As far as I can remember you had already a solution by reading the list
from a file and updating this file regularly.

As you know I have replaced the FIND command by ls which doesn't follow
the symbolic links for the files and I am very happy with it. Only when
3 recordings are running concurrently I get a delay of about 5 s.
