Summary:                    Large list of recording files produces delay on
incoming calls on queues
Description: 
Having a directory with a lot of recording files delays audio on queues
with recordings enabled. 
It seems that asterisk tries to access the directory containing all the
recordings before passing audio, causing big delay on the incoming audio.
Running "ls" command on that directory produces the same delay before
seeing the list of files.
Moving the files out of the monitor directory fixes the problem.

Creating a file is done by a blocking system call.  Under any normal
circumstances, this very little time.  It is definitely system specific as
to why it takes so long on your system.  As you pointed out, you have the
same problem just trying to list the files from a shell.
