Efficiently re-arrange files in a directory tree

[givens]

In an enormous directory tree, I have files which need re-arranging. While I know how to do this, I am concerned about efficiency. This needs to be done once, and stopped. It doesn't need to happen over and over again. Once it is done, I just want it to stop. Is there a way to program this?

Can't give specifics without knowing what the details are but you can try adding conditions to the rules so that they only execute once. One way is to add a color label or tag to the file and only match files/folders without the tag. If you only need to do it once, make sure to remove the folder from Hazel afterwards as it will still scan the files even if the rules don't match.
