The following reply was made to PR bin/112613; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Vyacheslav Silakov" <seal@inar.ru> To: <bug-followup@FreeBSD.org> Cc: Subject: Re: bin/112613: 'ls -l' is very slow or doesn't work at all Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2007 23:57:45 +0400 Ok... ;) I've a look into ls.c. It seems to be a performance problem around string #702 [...] user = user_from_uid(sp->st_uid, 0); [...] My /etc/passwd contains about 10,000 records and /var/mail directory contains about 10,000 mailboxes. Probably 'user_from_uid' function is doing something wrong. Original timing: # time ls -l /var/mail [...] 1572.20 real 133.71 user 790.94 sys But when I'm changed user = user_from_uid(sp->st_uid, 0); to user = "blablabla"; result is: # time ./ls -l /var/mail [...] 17.01 real 0.20 user 0.22 sys p.s. 'deco' program works fine because it doesn't use 'user_from_uid' function calls.
