Without knowing what the OP's file system but assuming he too is using EXT4, what would the directory be storing that's so different from mine?

Not to be pedantic, but the size of a directory has nothing to do with the size of the files it contains. It doesn't matter if they're small files or large ones. The only thing that matters is the number of filenames in the directory, and possibly the length of those file names.
