Hmm, I've been having a similar problem for ages. If I just do "ls" in
my home directory 10 or 20 times, approximately 20% of the time it's
"fast":

real 0m0.177s
user 0m0.028s
sys 0m0.027s

And the rest of the times it's "slow":

real 0m1.240s
user 0m0.036s
sys 0m0.040s

I rarely get anything in between - it's either ~1.2s or ~0.2s.

"time ls | cat" is always fast - 0.18 - 0.35s.

real 0m0.188s
user 0m0.014s
sys 0m0.018s

It has been this way as long as I can remember and it never made
sense...
