So far in the process of debugging this little proggie I've discovered three major math errors.

- The timer I'm using has some math in it that made me miss decimal places. Oops.
- Small bug where I was retrieving the directory list the same number of times as the stepping facter. Give a stepping factor of 500, and it'll grab the dir list 500 times. Oops.
- After retrieving the time taken to grab the directory list I divided that by the stepping factor. Then the total number of entries it retrieved. It should have been just divided by the number of entries retrieved. Oops.
