I did need to apply further changes to let it run sufficiently on /sudo::

* In disk-usage--list-recursively, the (concat (file-remote-p ...) trick
  must be applied earlier.

* In disk-usage--list-recursively and disk-usage--list I needed to adapt
  the directory-files-and-attributes call; otherwise also /. and
  /.. would be reported.

If the remote case still doesn't work for you, set tramp-verbose to 6,
and rerun the test. Show the resulting Tramp debug buffer.

I have no figures, but it feels faster.

One other point worth to fix: Pls don't run
disk-usage-toggle-recursive globally. It shall affect only the current
buffer; I don't want to have a recursive disk-usage report for every
remote directory. It takes too much time.
