Your understanding would vary widely by the filesystem in place. HFS,
NTFS, ufs, etc etc all have different performance penalties for this
computation.
For which computation? Size of directory, or disk space free?
If you are ANYWHEREs near filling the same volume as temp, you are already
likely screwed.
Probably, yes.
