I posted a parallel implementation a while back, and also put it 
on github.

The parallel trick is to create the folder structure first, then 
populate the folders with the files.  Best for ssd drives.

I also wrote a copy version that orders file sequence on disk 
efficiently, using write through, and posted it.  This speeds up 
any subsequent file system operations done in the directory order 
as if you have done a defrag. Great for hard drives, but not 
needed for ssd.
