The size of the directory file depends on how many entries in it, and will be some multiple of the block size. It does not depend on the size of the files in the directory. Now, for /usr, only the entries under /usr count. Not the ones under /usr/lib, /usr/local, etc... This is because /usr/lib is another directory file, so it is only one entry in /usr, even though it has many entries in it. Now, if you look at /etc, it is 2 blocks in size (4096 blocks) because it has so many entries in it. (2006 on my system, compaired to 513 for /bin.)
