Some measurements importing a gzip-compressed file (zcat .. | ncdu -f -) containing a bit under 6 million items and a few choices of how often to call input_handle(): Called on every item: real 0m13.745s user 0m12.576s sys 0m4.566s Called on every 8 items: real 0m7.932s user 0m9.636s sys 0m1.623s Called on every 16 items: real 0m7.559s user 0m9.553s sys 0m1.323s Called on every 32 items: real 0m7.279s user 0m9.353s sys 0m1.277s Called on every 64 items: real 0m7.166s user 0m9.389s sys 0m1.117s Called on every 256 items: real 0m7.073s user 0m9.439s sys 0m1.027s 32 seemed like a good compromise.

========
DESCRIPTION
ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) is a curses-based version of
the well-known 'du', and provides a fast way to see what
directories are using your disk space.
REQUIREMENTS
In order to compile and install ncdu, you need to have
at least...
- a POSIX-compliant operating system (Linux, BSD, etc)
- curses libraries and header files
INSTALL
The usual:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
If you're building directly from the git repository, make sure you have perl
(or rather, pod2man) and GNU autoconf/automake installed, then run
'autoreconf -i', and you're ready to continue with the usual ./configure and
make route.
