Subject: Better performance than native unix commands?

I have an issue with nfs and listing a large amount of files that I am
wondering if I can solve with ruby. I know that ruby has better
performance in some instances than a bash shell script so I am wondering
if anyone has experience or some examples of how this might work...

I have a directory with a large amount of files that is mounted over
nfs. The network is gigabit and so are the nic's. The servers are very
high end so the hardware / network performance is not the bottleneck.
However, sometimes it can take a very long time to list out the files
contained within a directory.

I will do an ls and it might take 5 minutes to retrieve a response.

Would this be faster if I were to do the same ls function using the ruby
api?
