Shell commands in Terminal vim take long time to execute

Hello everyone:

I am running Vim 7.3 on Mac OS X version 10.7 (Lion) on the terminal app. My vim version has no patches. I have a general question about execution of shell commands in terminal vim. Whenever I execute shell commands in terminal vim it can take between 15 to 30 seconds for it to finish execution of the command even for a simple command like "!ls". Conversely, whenever a execute the same command in MacVim it is generally a lot faster although it is a "dumb" terminal. Why is it taking so long to execute shell commands in terminal vim. Also, as a side note when the "shell" command to go to my login shell it also takes a long time for it to execute. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Jean-Marcel Belmont
