I agree. Also... stop including more than you comment on! |

Way too many people do this and it bothers me and all that |
| 5 |
is wave and/or particle based. |

Now... about this scientific thing... We appear to have a problem |
| 14 |
in your method and/or collection process here... Or you have some |
| 15 |
impressively large clustering on your box. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Here are some easily obtainable numbers... Rsync provides them. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Number of files: 100450 |
| 20 |
Total file size: 77658481 bytes |
| 21 |
File list size: 2274372 |
| 22 |
|

Given this info and a fairly sane FS... like Reiser3 with tail |
| 25 |
packing... You consume around 80 megs of disk space... About |
| 26 |
one-fifth of what you mention... Even with 330 files less! |
