`ls -U1` will not run significantly faster than `ls` on powerful hardware. The key difference is that `ls -U1` prints the results continuously as the list of files is read from file system whereas `ls` will be silent until the complete list is read. You need to use a new enough version of coreutils for this to work properly. This optimisation was introduced in coreutils-7.5: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=v7.0~113 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=v7.5~49 Kamil > Paul Eggert wrote: > > On 5/2/19 5:41 PM, Viktors Berstis wrote: > >> The newer version of "ls" built for Windows has the problem. > > > > Ah, then you'll have to talk to whoever built that version, which is not > > me (and generally speaking they don't hang out on this mailing list).
