The timings are from shares mounted with the noacl option, so that bit
of code shouldn't be involved.  I will try the same operations on an ACL
enabled mount of the same share later and I also need to find a share
that is exported from a true NTFS server for comparison.

No, the behaviour is quite a bit older, although I didn't time it since
I didn't recognize the connection to the aliased ls.  In any case, it
really is just the determination of whether or not the file is
executable that takes up all that time.

Achim.
