The timings are from shares mounted with the noacl option, so that bit
of code shouldn't be involved.  I will try the same operations on an ACL
enabled mount of the same share later and I also need to find a share
that is exported from a true NTFS server for comparison.

No, the behaviour is quite a bit older, although I didn't time it since
I didn't recognize the connection to the aliased ls.  In any case, it
really is just the determination of whether or not the file is
executable that takes up all that time.
