bash find touch

-exec ... \; will run one item after another. 
So if you have three files, the exec line will run three times.

-exec ... {} + is for commands that can take more than one file at a time 
(eg cat, stat, ls). 
The files found by find are chained together like an xargs command. 
This means less forking out and for small operations, can mean a substantial speedup.
