Thanks for looking into this.  It looks like it does the trick, though
the default threshhold is way too high to have an effect -- something
like 4096 or 8192 might be better.  file-attributes seems sensical on
Darwin as well, though I'd rather specify a (possibly rough) number of
files, and

    (length (directory-files DIR nil nil t))

isn't that slow -- it's all the filtering and fontification done by
ido that slows things down.  FWIW, on Darwin the second element of
file-attributes seems to be the number of files.  Weird.
