And I'm saying you can't have fast rescans in all cases - it very much depends on the filesystem and directory structure.

I'm not trying to downplay nnn - I meant it when I said it's a cool project! I'm saying each project has its strengths and weaknesses, but your marketing doesn't reflect that (or I missed it).

ncdu's memory usage is definitely its weak point - that's not news to me - but it's because I chose the other side of the trade-off: No rescans. If you're curious where that 60MB goes to, it's 400K of 'struct dir's: https://g.blicky.net/ncdu.git/tree/src/global.h?id=d95c65b0#...

I honestly don’t understand why you’re getting down voted when all you’re doing is explaining the design decisions behind your own utility.
