One of the time library functions (i.e. ctime() or localtime() or strftime(), etc) apparently looks for those files to determine time zone information. Mine does it too, but it doesn't take anywhere near as long. It looks like you have $TZ set to CST-8, just for kicks why not try "unset TZ; ls -l" just to see if it makes any difference at all.
