The first time I posted was the first time the directory has been read in well over a month so it was not currently cached. You might find this to be interesting since it shows that the 'rt' options are taking most of the time: % ptime ls -1 | wc -l real 5.497 user 4.825 sys 0.654 1000000 I will certainly agree that huge directories can cause problems for many applications, particularly ones that access the files over a network.
