any alternative to "du -s" ?

Hi! We have a large filesystem with 1,8 mio files and 16000 directories. Sometime developers think, they have to do some funny changes and start to fill up some directories within. as there are about 20 applications running, it is somehow difficult, to find out, who ist filling up the fs. "find . -print" runs 58 minutes, "du -s" runs for ages.
Is there any other way to find which directory is filling up??

thx
