This doesn't seem like a huge deal, it happens on Windows and Linux too, if the underlying filesystem is slow, and the data hasn't been cached, which is the best behavior - considering the alternative is to display nothing till all the data arrives.

Previous versions (maybe the new ones too, I haven't seen it yet) of Windows was updating the size realtime when it was still calculating. You could still see the approx size and know it's not the real size.

EDIT: only when opening "properties" dialog
