findlargedir
quickly find all "blackhole" directories with a huge amount of filesystem entries in a flat structure
Tool has been designed to work as fast as possible given its specific use case and it should be typically much faster than find, du, ncdu and other similar tools. It can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/dkorunic/findlargedir

No, it's long known that parallel tree walking is able to process files/folders at better rates, especially for higher-throughput storages or even better, for hybrid or fully SSD storages. There are always some overheads on processing logic and there is no reason to wait for processing to finish while fetching another structure from disk, especially on high IOPS devices where single-thread programs are too slow. Since it's always better to refer to factual numbers, for instance comparison of Rust tree walkers, single-thread vs multiple-treads.
