ls problem

Hello,
I've been using cygwin for 3 years now and last week, I downloaded the
latest cygwin from one of the mirrors and everything in well except for one
problem. I noticed that whenever I type 'ls -', the output gets delayed for
a few seconds. This never happened to me using the old cygwin. I checked
the man pages of ls and I didn't find a clue on how to make its output
faster.
I got to the /bin directory and did a 'time ls -l' and these are the
results.
real 0m3.942s
user 0m0.249s
sys 0m0.530s
This is my current bash version :
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(5)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Then, the current ls version:
$ ls --version
ls (fileutils) 4.1
Written by Richard Stallman and David MacKenzie.
Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
The fileutils version is "fileutils-4.1-1".
The queer thing is that the fileutils version of my former cygwin package is
exactly the same as with the new one.
Any help to fix the problem?
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
