That would be a very thorough way of finding big files and it will take a 
long time.  I usually use "du -sk *" to get a listing of directory volumes 
in the current default directory.  That helps me to figure out where the 
big stuff is.  When there are lots of data, that method isn't super fast 
either, but it is fast on showing the directories that don't have a lot in 
them.
