Default ls -l

I'm having trouble googling up a description of the fields produced by
ls -l. For example:

drwxr-xr-x 10 user users 20480 2007-02-15 12:13 filename

I know what every one of these is except the second field. This is the
output of a directory name using ls -ld, and I want to know why it's
using 20k when every other dir uses 4k.

I stumbled upon this as a possible problem producing a virtual host in
apache, although I don't think it's really relevant to you fine folks.
