I've often questioned how disk usage tracking functions. It seems usage can appear low even during heavy operations, yet a simple installer might show minimal activity. The system likely measures real-time activity and reports it accurately.

An installer tends to generate numerous tiny file copies, leading to many separate requests. Copying a big file usually means fewer requests and a simpler data transfer.
