Ncdu takes ages to run on my system, its like 500GB+ of storage space, but it takes roughly an hour to finish scanning, probably a bit less, is there any alternative which either constantly monitors my files so it always knows the sizes for me to navigate or is significantly faster than Ncdu?

    An hour is crazy, something definitely isn’t right.

    That said ncdu is still pretty slow, large scans can take several minutes if there are lots of small files.

    I wish there was a WizTree equivalent for Linux that just loaded the MFT nearly instantly instead of scanning everything.
