Looking at the current coreutils source, I noticed that 'ls' called getxattr when it didn't need to. I installed the attached patch to fix some of the issue; more could be done and perhaps I'll find the time. Among other things this patch should cause GNU ls to use llistxattr instead of listxattr which may make a difference.
I notice that tests/ls/getxattr-speedup.sh is failing now, which I've not looked into yet. cheers, Pádraig
