That would make some sense with what i saw.  I definitely saw some caching
behavior; the problem that the behavior wasn't consistent.  I'd run "ls" and
get a massive delay, and then it would be quick for a few times in a row,
then it would slow down again.  Maybe the cache expires too quickly?

I'm still not clear, though, on why NT security is needed in any way
different from before.  I mean, in the past, ls would have to check the NTFS
permissions to see if the user had rights, so what's changed?

Thanks for the comments!
John
