The new data model is supposed to solve a few problems with ncdu 1.x's 'struct dir': - Reduce memory overhead, - Fix extremely slow counting of hard links in some scenarios (issue #121) - Add support for counting 'shared' data with other directories (issue #36) Quick memory usage comparison of my root directory with ~3.5 million files (normal / extended mode): ncdu 1.15.1: 379M / 451M new (unaligned): 145M / 178M new (aligned): 155M / 200M There's still a /lot/ of to-do's left before this is usable, however, and there's a bunch of issues I haven't really decided on yet, such as which TUI library to use. Backporting this data model to the C version of ncdu is also possible, but somewhat painful. Let's first see how far I get with Zig.
