What happened there? That makes me mistrust all the other times. I've updated RT, adding -w to write to stderr. That will let you redirect DIR to nul and still see the timing (use -2). E.g. here's a test I made to compare DIR against FOR:

C:\>lfntest.bat
C:\>lfnfor off
C:\>set dircmd=
C:\>rt -2 -w :dir fdos\bin\*.* > nul

Elapsed Time: 0.010 seconds (10 ticks).
C:\>rt -2 -w :for %j in (fdos\bin\*.*) do echo %j > nul

Elapsed Time: 0.014 seconds (14 ticks).
C:\>f:doslfn
DOSLFN 0.41f (haftmann#software & jmh 4/2022): loaded consuming 13920 bytes.
C:\>rt -2 -w :dir /lfn fdos\bin\*.* > nul

Elapsed Time: 0.083 seconds (85 ticks).
C:\>lfnfor on
C:\>rt -2 -w :for %j in (fdos\bin\*.*) do echo %j > nul

Elapsed Time: 0.016 seconds (16 ticks).
C:\>f:doslfn u
DOSLFN 0.41f (haftmann#software & jmh 4/2022): removed from memory.
