RE: ls takes a long time.

I can't see what is causing your problem.  For what it's worth,
it does not appear to be inherent in Cygwin:

   $ uname -r
   1.3.13(0.62/3/2)

   $ /usr/bin/ls --version
   ls (fileutils) 4.1

   $ touch foo && chmod +s foo && time /usr/bin/ls -l foo
   -rwSr-Sr--    1 maharig  Power Us        0 Oct 29 18:18 foo

   real    0m0.390s
   user    0m0.030s
   sys     0m0.060s

I repeated the above commands on another computer that is running Cygwin
1.3.12 -- similar results (slightly faster).  Both computers are running
Windows 2000.
