Colorizing file with capabilities has some performance impact (rhbz #467508). It should be possible to stop checking for file capabilities by unsetting ca attribute of $LS_COLORS. One-line patch solving this issue is attached.
Simple test: $ strace ls --color 2> tmp && grep -i cap tmp --color $ eval `dircolors -b | sed s/ca=[^:]*:/ca=:/` # disable checking for file caps $ strace ls --color 2> tmp && grep -i cap tmp --color Kamil
