Comment:

 That does not make sense. As I understand, the purpose of the DiskUsage
 utility is to show disk usage of files and directories. That can not be
 done without scanning the entire disk first.

 If someone wants to get the size of a specific file or directory, use "Get
 Info", as DiskUsage would be the wrong utility to use in that case.
 DiskUsage needs to scan the entire disk for it to fulfill its function.
