It runs super fast and gives you many views into seeing the size of various files and folders on your system with the ability to dig down into subfolders.

As you can see, my VirtualBox Windows 7 IE 9 and 10 VMs are taking up a lot of space. Right-clicking on them allows me to delete them right from there. Below is a different view of my folders and file sizes.
