With every command?  Or with completions only for one specific command?

Maybe a completion is trying to generate a list of all valid
usernames, or something.

You could debug it with
set -x
ls ./abc<tab>
set +x

Then go through the trace output and try any external commands on
their own, to see if they're the cause.
