HP-UX 10.20 might use the following additions:
"ls -alni /var/adm/syslog"                      0.02
"ls -alni /var/adm/lp"                          0.01
"ls -alni /var/tmp"                             0.02
"arp -a -n"                                     0.02 (without -n)
"tail -200 /var/adm/syslog/mail.log"            0.01
"xntpdc -c sysinfo"				0.02 (root access only)
 
Sure that there is even more :-)
