Algorithm or pseudo code sought for getting the la

Hi I need to write a program in java that lists the latest last modified time among the files in folders and its subfolder and also gets the size of the folder. In my case, average folder size is 9 GB. Could you please suggest any algorithm to achieve this?? I tried to implement it by gathering last modified times from folders and its subfolders recursively and storing the info in Vector and finally
getting the max of the last modified times but it was horribly slow and memory hogging.

This isnt really an algorithm question.

Try asking on the Java forum, you may get an answer over there.
