I'm replying to myself :) - I've found an even better one, with 1970
directories bleonging to 1970 users. I've measured the ls command with
"time", here the results:

Freebsd:

time ls -l /home/
...listing omitted...
drwxr-xr-x    2 zanoletti                 poppers    3 Oct 16  2014 zanoletti
1.433u 12.534s 0:13.97 99.9%	35+172k 0+0io 0pf+0w

Linux:

time ls -l /home/
...-listing omitted...
drwxr-xr-x   2 zanoletti                poppers  4096 Oct 16  2014 zanoletti

real	0m0.291s
user	0m0.060s
sys	0m0.092s
