calculate folder sizes
Authored by: BMarsh on May 25, '01 11:15:53AM

I've actually found that calculate folder sizes is dramatically faster under MacOS X than under MacOS 9

but it does come at the cost of CPU usage, I have it off on most folders I do have in list view, but where I tend to want to know the size of folders & their contents, I always have it on (downloads folder, and some other specific folders in my documents, and my mp3's)

I haven't found that it takes that long to calculate the size of app bundles... but I don't have that many in a big list, so maybe that's it? *shrug*
