Try to truss your ls -ltr or other commands which get stuck - if you get
stuck in a system call, this should show it (of course the truss itself may
take a while to get started).
Top would open up lots of /proc filesystem files, so you may have a file
descriptor allocation issue ... or some bug related to OS spinlock
contention (mpstat would show increase in smtx column)
