Some thoughts that come to mind:
Which filesystem (FS) are the directories in? /var?
Which volume group (VG) is the FS in? vg00?
Where physically is the problem FS? internal disk or on the SAN?
Which disk is faster - internal or the SAN?
What else is going on in the problem FS and VG?
How big are these files? min, max, avg size.
If the problem is in /var on vg00 on internal disk, I would try making a new purpose built filesystem just for holding many thousands (of small, I'm guessing) files. You could try making a new VG and FS on the SAN (if it is faster), to hold this directory. At the very least this would isolate the issue.

NAME
cpu_family - Contains the CPU type. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
extern int cpu_family;
DESCRIPTION
Contains the Intel type, where applicable. Allegro defines the following CPU family types:
CPU_FAMILY_UNKNOWN - The type of processor is unknown
CPU_FAMILY_I386 - The processor is an Intel-compatible 386
CPU_FAMILY_I486 - The processor is an Intel-compatible 486
CPU_FAMILY_I586 - The processor is a Pentium or equivalent
CPU_FAMILY_I686 - The processor is a Pentium Pro, II, III
or equivalent
CPU_FAMILY_ITANIUM - The processor is an Itanium processor
CPU_FAMILY_POWERPC - The processor is a PowerPC processor
CPU_FAMILY_EXTENDED - The processor type needs to be read
from the cpu_model
You can read this variable after you have called check_cpu() (which is automatically called by allegro_init()).
