Subject: ls taking too long

If a directory contains a large number of files (I have >40000) where most
of them are named such that the first character is a "1" and you do an "ls
x*" where only one of the files begin with x, the ls takes an inordinate
amount of time, but going to a plain dos window and "dir e*" is really
fast.

I'm using 1.5.11.
