Not to be pedantic, but the size of a directory has nothing to do with
the size of the files it contains. It doesn't matter if they're small
files or large ones. The only thing that matters is the number of
filenames in the directory, and possibly the length of those file names.
Thanks for setting me straight. I guess the OP must have, like you
said, a *bajillion*, puny sized files:
$ mkdir junk
$ for u in {1..10000}; touch junk/junk-${u}; done
$ ls -ld junk
drwxr-xr-x 2 akk users 270336 Feb 23 17:19 junk
$ du -bs junk
270336 junk
