Works fine here, without hanging.  Takes circa 9 sec to collect
matches on the entire Emacs tree.

My guess is that you don't have a Find command installed (or it is not
called "find.exe").  Or maybe your Grep is somehow incompatible.

Well, the only meaningful conclusion that can be drawn from a failed
command is that it doesn't work, not that it's slow.
