I just want to add an observation and stay out of this conversation otherwise: ls -F is comparably slow on a network drive here but as noted by someone else in this thread ls --file-type is fast. However, the combination ls --file-type --color is as slow as ls -F here. Maybe a hint for you to find out what is going on.
