speeding up scanning?

https://windirstat.net/contact.html sendmail cgi is 404.

Am I right in thinking that windirstat would be faster at completing scanning if it didn't attempt to parallel scan all disks?

For example, I have a slow netbook with a 320GB spinning hard drive, partitioned into C: and D: of 160GB each. windirstat scans these in parallel, so given drive head movement, wouldn't it make sense to scan one partition completely first, and then the other?

thanks.
