Is there a command that works similar to 'du' with the switch '-sm' to
show a directory much faster? Currently I'm running that comand with a
wildcard on /users directory and it takes hours to complete. If there
is not such command, is there combo command or ways to have something
like 'du -sm /users/*' to show up much faster?

Thinking outside of the box, if you implemented quotas, you could run a
quota report fairly quickly. Users could have an infinite quota so they
wouldn't be impacted, but you'd still be able to get your reports
quickly.
