No difference at all, and in response to Frank Duignan's off-list
suggestion of overheating: it's a quite new machine and the
internals are immacualtely dust-free.

FWIW, "strace ls -l" finishes as follows: 

-------------------------------------------------------------------
open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY)        = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1285, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40021000
read(3, "TZif\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\n\0\0\0\n\0"..., 4096) = 1285
close(3)                                = 0
munmap(0x40021000, 4096)                = 0
