        The FAQ, incorrectly estimates the total memory as three
        times this figure, but postings on this list indicates that
        the reality is that it is this this figure, plus various
        overheads, plus a multiple of the number
        of objects in the whole cache (including, and normally mainly,
        the disk cache).
