David,
The odd thing is that the delay occurred on a file (in a directory) that,
according to Carlo, do not exist. Nor do they exist on my system even
though I have all of the Cygwin packages installed (including XFree86/Cygwin).
Why would a simple attempt to access a non-existent file trigger
Carlo,
Do you have any anti-virus software running? 'ls -l' has to open each
file, and this typically triggers your AV software to scan it.
Depending on your AV product, and how you have configured it, this
might explain unusual delays.
If you do have AV software running, try repeating the tests

I have no idea. In fact, /usr/local/etc/zoneinfo does not exist--neither a
directory nor a file.

Pierre,
I think this probably explains the F: drive:

There is a huge delay accessing
F:\cygwin\usr\local\etc\zoneinfo\posixrules,
on your F: drive.

Carlo,
The difference between 'ls' and 'ls -l' is that 'ls -l' actually performs
a stat() call on every file in the directory, whereas 'ls' simply reads
the directory contents and doesn't touch the files. Therefore, the files
themselves (or, rather, the stat records for them) need to be in disk

Carlo,
I think your next step must be to run "ls" under "strace" and see where the
excess time (presumably idle time) is going.

Hi Igor,
I tried disabling ntsec and "ls -l" is still slow. I'm using
1.3.15-cygwin-1-3-15-1. "ls -l" and "ls -ln" takes almost the same amount
of time.On a directory with 3 short text files, the difference, when I
timed "ls -l" and "ls -b", is still considerable.

$ time ls -b
Thanks for the info. I've read the FAQ and it mentioned something about the
// notation on the PATH environment variable. I checked my PATH variable
and there was no presence of the // notation. I then set the PATH to
include only the usual bin directories but "ls -l" is still considerably
slow.
