I have encountered similar behaviour when iterating over rather large directory tree over network, and I believe this *might* help a bit... Although it is hard to say, if your problem is the same, as mine was. 
sub Get_FileList{
    @files=();
    @todel=();
    ####### WORKAROUND START
    my $sloppy = ${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT};
    ${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT} = 1;
    ####### WORKAROUND END
    find(sub {push @files,$File::Find::name if (-f $File::Find::name a
+nd /\.*$/ and stat($File::Find::name)->mtime > $lastepoch);}, $indir)
+;
    find(sub {push @todel,$File::Find::name if (-d $File::Find::name);
+ }, $indir);     
    $lastepoch = time; #Update last execution time for the next run
    $logger->info("New execution time update: $lastepoch.");
    $proccount = scalar(@files);
    $logger->info("Found $proccount new files since last run.");
    ####### REVERT WORKAROUND
    ${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT} = $sloppy;
    ####### REVERT WORKAROUND END
}
