Yes, I think that might be reasonable behavior.

Nobody does, much.  My home account is 120Mb du tells me.  300k
ekstra?  Pff.  Buy more disks.  :-)

Reading the 300k file is quite fast, but writing it isn't.  I think
that's something that the user can tweak if it's a problem, though.
It's more important to be able to say `j alt.bi<TAB>pi<TAB>furnit<TAB>'.
