Dired with recursive directory sizes

dired-du's Issues

dired-du-get-recursive-dir-size-in-parallel: Don't sleep for 1s

I think dired-du is a great idea, but in practice I find it very frustrating to use because each folder takes 1s to open.

I've rooted out the slow-down to the dired-du-get-recursive-dir-size-in-parallel function: notice the (sleep-for 1) call there.
If I remove it, it seems to be working still, but I suspect the sleep was introduced to avoid polling.

Changing it to (sleep-for 0 10) makes for a much better experience in my opinion.

That said, instead of polling for the process states, shouldn't we run the exit code from a sentinel?

Sort by size - redux

I'd like to sort dired-du's results by size. I've tried adding -s to the ls flags, but it didn't work.

Sort by size

Is it possible to the dired entries by size?
Using the -S flag in dired-sort-toggle-or-edit does not work because it uses the results of ls, not du.

dired-du-sort-by-size fails on armhf (or maybe in a container)

As can be seen at https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/d/dired-du/groovy/armhf, the new dired-du-sort-by-size test fails on armhf (it passes on other architectures). I don't really understand how the test can be failing but it seems consistent.

armhf is the only architecture where the tests run in a container rather than a VM, so that could be why it fails there. But I'm not really sure.
