That's a 16 KB difference. It will take a long time to eat up 6 GB at that 
rate...

No. But the real question is: where is the disk space going? If you have an
attribute like:

  src = ./.;

in your expression, then the entire source directory will be copied to the Nix
store every time you run nix-shell. If that's the case, you may want to use this
hack:

  src = if lib.inNixShell then null else ./.;

which prevents the source directory from being copied.
