Du command takes too long to respond
I understand that my folder has huge amount of files / data.
When I fire the command du -sm * its been running past 30 minutes with NO output on my AiX system.
ls -ltr command returns output fairly quick from inside the same folder.
My objective is the list files / folders consuming maximum space.
Is there way I can optimize the command to get the desired output in less time ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

sortm(1mh) sortm(1mh)
Name
sortm - sort messages
Syntax
sortm [ msgs ] [ +folder ] [ options ]
Description
The command sorts all the messages in the current folder into chronological order according to the contents of the Date: fields of the mes-
sages.
By default, sorts all the messages in the current folder. You can select particular messages in the folder by giving a range of messages.
You can also sort messages in another folder by specifying the folder name.
If encounters a message without a Date: field, or if the message has a Date: field that cannot parse, it attempts to keep the message in
the same relative position. However, this does not always work; for instance, if the first message encountered lacks a date which can be
parsed, then it will usually be placed at the end of the messages being sorted.
When complains about a message which it cannot order, it complains about the message number prior to sorting.
Options
-datefield field
Specifies the name of the header field to use when making the date comparison. If you have a special field in each message, such
as Delivery-Date:, then the -datefield switch can be used to tell which field to examine. If you do not give this option, the
default is to use the Date: header field.
-help Prints a list of all the valid options to this command.
-verbose
-noverbose
Displays the general actions that it is taking to place the folder in sorted order. The -noverbose option performs these actions
silently. The default is -noverbose.
The default settings for this command are:
+folder defaults to the current folder
msgs defaults to all
-datefield date
-noverbose
Profile Components
Path: To determine your MH directory
Examples
The following example sorts all the messages in the folder
% sortm +meetings
The next example sorts messages 10-30 in the folder called
% sortm +test 10-30
Files
The user profile.
