The problem is that we don't have a good way to determine the size of
the buffered data as it is currently stored.
There's a plan to change how it is stored, and one benefit will be that
we will then know how much RAM it is using. I thought we had a ticket
for this, but a quick look only found a couple for related issues.

The approach already suggested by Jean-Francois seems plausible, and is
at least simple to calculate.
