It disables a lot more than sorting. Unless you've done something to
stop it, ls is an alias for "ls --color=tty" which will do a stat(2) on
all the files. Does "/bin/ls" or "\ls" work quickly?

Re-directing to a file will also turn the colour off.
[Look at that -- I'm quite happy to use "color" for programs and scripts
but as soon as I want to use it as a word I fall back to the English
spelling and I start getting confused.]
