How can one find all dirs that contain more then 1000 files?

Thanks

quick and dirty: find all dirs, ls -l every dir and count files.

find / -type d|while read dir
do
 count=$(ls -l ${dir}|grep -c '^-')
 if [ ${count} -gt 1000 ]
 then
  echo "${dir}: ${count} files"
 fi
done

but it's going to take some time (and disk I/Os).

I guess a script (perl or awk anyone?) could be written that analyses a

find / -ls

output and counts files in dirs by looking at the 'd' or '-' in the first position and comparing the 'dir' part of pathnames in the last field...
