Luciano, a few questions come to mind: - what are you doing with the output (> /dev/null?)? - how are you measuring this? - what else is the machine doing while you're doing your 'ls'? - [you may have said so in an earlier message:] is the HW (including disk infrastructure) comparable to the linux box? - is this time you're reporting, while significant, the only issue you have, or do you actually see something really show-stopping on that machine (IOW, what problem are you trying to solve)? - do you have comparable numbers in comparable directories? - do you see any error messages or warnings in the logs? you get the idea ... :-) HTH Michael On Tue, Jan 16, 2018 at 5:11 PM, Luciano Mannucci <luciano@vespaperitivo.it> wrote: > On Tue, 16 Jan 2018 07:57:04 -0600 > Weldon Godfrey <weldon@excelsus.com> wrote: > > > Does the directory listings get better after awhile?
