I'm running it now... it is an old version 1.1.2.80, but it didn't tell me there's an update, and the functionality I need stayed the same, so why would I update?

It took almost 5 minutes and reports almost 2M items, 1.45M files and 465k subdirs...

I don't know that there's anything wrong with my disk, windirstat has always been slow when I ran it on my windows installation. Since it doesn't cheat, it goes slow. I will say, while it was reading, task manager showed a high read rate and a high write rate, and I dunno why, it's Windows (10); not that going through a convoluted filesystem is particularly fast anywhere else.
