I'm having intermittent issues with my website, and when it's not responding there seems to be an issue with performing a directory listing on the host e.g. I performed an ls -l and it took over 30 seconds to return:  
e.g.   
time ls -l www \> /dev/null  
  
real 0m33.688s  
user 0m0.004s  
sys 0m0.000s  
  
You can see below that it's not a particularly large folder, has anyone come across something like this before and had it fixed? Or is it an issue with the host the my site is on?  
  
Thanks!
