Arthur,

Thanks. However, I am unable to reproduce this behaviour.

What filesystem are you using?

Can you reproduce this with a command that doesn't touch the filesystem? Maybe:

 read | more

I wonder if it is a specific filesystem effect on your system and it is ls -t
that is consuming CPU rather than more.

If you try without the -t flag, does that change the behaviour?

Mark
