If the only reason you're statting the files is to check whether
they're directories, then you can save yourself a system call per
file:

while ((pFile=readdir(pDir))!=NULL) {
     if (pFile->d_type == DT_DIR)
        continue;

This'll probably be quite a bit quicker, and may also save you needing
to call sprintf(), which can be somewhat expensive.
