I think, at least in MacOSX, that this is just the form any
application gets this information', including the finder.
It looks very suspiciously like the dump you get when you type "ls
-l" in the terminal window. Something has to 'waste the time' getting
this information....be it rev, the command line or another app.
Maybe I should have said 'another lengthy function call per line'...
I already use a cached file list, but if I hit a folder with
thousands of files in it and only need the size of 1 file in that
particular folder, it seems like wasted CPU time to pull the entire
folder contents.

A perfect case for using "the detailed files", so you can rapidly
get all of the size info for an entire directory in one call, and
the just format the info or calculate it however you need.
