Nope, I have that in the mode line, see the screenshot

What you loose is one line of file listing. In the screenshot
I could have 13, but have 12. As a math professional, how do
you compute the possible improvement which BTW should be easy,
almost trivial to implement (and if it isn't, dired's code
isn't good!).

Uhm, is this right?

(format "%+0.1f%%" (- (* (/ 13 12.0) 100) 100))

Good, but you don't get the percent with that.
