Carlo,

Do you have any anti-virus software running?  'ls -l' has to open each
file, and this typically triggers your AV software to scan it.
Depending on your AV product, and how you have configured it, this
might explain unusual delays.

If you do have AV software running, try repeating the tests with it
disabled, and report back.

Thanks,
David
