Yes, i can imagine. It's clearly a mode that you'd turn 'on' only when you're 
directly in place, where you want to analyze the sizes. After you're done,  
turn off.
I mean, it's one key press for on and one for off - if you're analyzing two 
different directories (maybe comparing with a backup) then you're already even, 
any more and you're btter off with a permanent switcher.

Hmm, that's a point. Or would it update to the actual values with Ctrl+Shift+R 
reload ?

yes ok, expected that. Just wanted to archive the idea :)
