average / disk usage

Just wondering what an average disc usage is for one's / partition.  Mine is right around 4.0 gigs.  I just cleaned my old pacman packages pacman -Scc and then I ran ncdu -x / on my system's disk space usage.  My /usr seems to be pretty darn large.

2.8GB [##########] /usr                                                                              
  654.8MB [##        ] /opt
  133.2MB [          ] /var
   97.4MB [          ] /lib
   14.6MB [          ] /sbin
   11.5MB [          ] /etc
    9.2MB [          ] /boot
    5.7MB [          ] /bin
    2.3MB [          ] /root

I have the following under /usr:

1.3GB [##########] /share
1.1GB [########  ] /lib

Just wondering about other people's / usage.

4.0K    /mnt
4.0K    /lib64
0       /sys
0       /proc

here's mine. It's a pretty minimal setup on my laptop.  I don't really think your /usr is overly large for the size of your installation.
