WinDirStat has been receiving a lot of hate as of late from Reddit's sysadmin community due to the slowness of the app vs alternatives.

The key difference between WinDirStat and the favored alternatives is that WinDirStat manually gathers information by means of looping? whereas the alternatives are reading files and folders from the NTFS MFT.

I propose looking at incorporating this project to speed up the process of reading from the MFT: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ntfsreader/
