This results in a noticeable increase in performance:
$ yes /dev/null | head -n 10000000 | tr '\n' '\0' \
| time --format=%E ./src/du-prev -l --files0-from=- > /dev/null
0:20.40
$ yes /dev/null | head -n 10000000 | tr '\n' '\0' \
| time --format=%E ./src/du -l --files0-from=- > /dev/null
0:16.57
* src/du.c (print_size): Prefer putchar and fputs which may be unlocked
unlike printf. Prefer ferror to fflush.
