It will be very nice to have, even without any caching (though that is probably necessary IMO to improve the display and performance and to minimize disk wear for SSDs in particular). I have a few concerns and suggestions for improvement:

  I mostly followed your nice suggestion.

  As long as we don't have a cache somewhere (and even then?), we will need to allow the user to limit the recursiveness somehow.
  We can think of alternative to the recursion level setting (I suggested a timelimit, nb of files or nb of directories scanned), but I feel most users will be comfortable with it.

  Fixed

  Fixed
  I thought about keeping the item count visible when real size is displayed, but it just clutters the UI.

  I plan to implement this in a separate diff.
  Let's keep things atomic.
