How to efficiently read file names when there are > 1 million files in directory (in Bash)

问题

I am running find . -exec stat -f '%N,%a' {} + in a directory with > 1 million files. It just hangs and uses CPU. I left it running for over 5 minutes and still no output. I don't want it to crash my computer.

What other ways are there to read the directory files in a way that doesn't load the whole thing into memory.

I can't change the directory structure, I need it to have these > 1 million files in a flat directory.
