Summing sizes is fast. Carlos' argument is, by not needing to stat every file, disk usage determination on FAT is much faster, because stat(2) is an expensive operation when it has to be done on many files.
That's my meaning :-)
Mind you, I'm not telling that this behaviour would convince me to use FAT beyond an USB stick. ;-) I just want to contribute what I see as a misunderstanding. ;-)
Absolutely. Each filesystem has its design goals and compromises. And FAT has currently some not very nice patches, like the addition for long names. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
