Hello Bert,
Probably not the most efficient, but should be quicker than Finder’s "entire contents":
property mylist : {}
set myfolder to alias "Macintosh HD:Users:bertus:Desktop:example folder"
set myfolder to quoted form of POSIX path of myfolder
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}
set mylist to text items of (do shell script "/usr/bin/find " & myfolder & " -type d")
repeat with i from 1 to length of mylist
set item i of my mylist to (POSIX file (item i of my mylist) as text)
end repeat
HTH,
Axel
