I did this on a linux machine so I used the Python one.

Ok, I kind of know what's going on, almost, sort of, possibly.

The Android Chimera (malware detection) running in the background is trying to do something. To keep doing it it's trying to get a Wake Lock. It's not allowed. That causes the System Server to write a error log for DropBox (why?) which it does to the staging area in /data/system/dropbox/ but then the DropBoxService tries to inform the DropBox provider (in KCB) with a broadcast intent (which it's not allowed to do).

This will certainly fix it:
Code:
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService
But you'd have to be root to do it.

All this junk is in /system/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore/PrebuiltGmsCore.apk

In any case, you can do a quick check that everything works beautifully with Android stopped (but again, you need root for that).
Out of curiosity, I just tried this and even with chimera disabled as you said, the time ls takes is the same

Code:
BOOX:/sdcard/Documents $ time ls -Rl tmp/ | wc
  14054  112419  852684    
2m59.88s real     0m00.72s user     0m03.72s system
BOOX:/sdcard/Documents $ su
BOOX:/storage/emulated/0/Documents # pm disable com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService
Component {com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService} new state: disabled
BOOX:/storage/emulated/0/Documents # time ls -Rl tmp/ | wc
  14464  115699  877236    
3m08.95s real     0m00.54s user     0m03.98s system
(The different file numbers are because it was still syncing, it's a folder with 20000 empty files.)

After stopping android I get an error message:
Code:
BOOX:/storage/emulated/0/Documents # stop
BOOX:/storage/emulated/0/Documents # ls
ls: .: Transport endpoint is not connected
