No, not really. 'entire contents', even of a largish folder, is the most

tell application "Finder"

end tell

Yield >> folder "Applications" of startup disk of application "Finder"

tell application "Finder"
get (the first item whose name contains "Omni") --NB
of entire contents of startup disk
end tell

timed out.
