No we are not using NIS. it is a large directory i am listing. actually it is the /usr/home directory, and is probably the largest on the system. However "ls -l" runs for close to six minutesand spends the 10 seconds scrolling the screen with the results. so i wait ls to start showing the results for about 5 and a half minutes. Even on a older and much slower system i've never seen it talk more than 15 seconds to complete.
