See my previous posts.
calcsize rules in this respect
it will simply go over the disk in one go, and keeps track on which files
will be dumped at which levbel, and simply gives the results at the end in
one go.
So running an estimate for 9 levels with calsize will be just as quick (and
beat the disk just as hard) as doing an estimate for a level 0 only
