Even that can be slow if there are lots of files involved. Note that some filesystems have particularly bad performance if there are lots of files in a single directory, as well. This is especially true of NFS. In one extreme example, I've seen a simple "ls" take tens of minutes to produce any output in an NFS-mounted directory with ~1,000,000 files.
