I'm not going to make mc reread automatically all subdirs when displaying a dir. As 
e.g. in FAR manager under windows, this should be a key that turns size display on 
selected dirs, only until you leave the directory. So it will only cause delays if you 
consciously apply it, say, to all dirs from /. But you similarly get large delays when 
you start, say, a grep search in all files from /.

Why are you so sure about it? For example, how do you figure out which of your dirs 
takes most disk space is you can't sort them by their du size? Please do a google 
search on the command "du -s * | sort -n" which does exactly this - you'll see it 
mentioned a lot of times, which shows people do need it quite often.
