Description John Ata 2016-12-27 19:54:36 UTC

For some reason, a simple "ls" (without color) attempts to perform an lstat on each file in a directory even though a readdir should have been sufficient to display the file name.  This is unlike the standard Linux ls and seems less performant because of the kernel overhead.
