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.
