There *is* away to see exactly how much space a given object (CFC, array, or otherwise) is taking up - perform a "Heap Dump". If you are running a JVM 1.4.2_12 and up, you can force a heap dump and thqen analyze the resulting bin file with jHat (a utility that comes w/ JDK6) to see what was in your heap, in terms of classes, number of instances, and size of each instance. It takes some digging, but if you need to find out the actual memory footprint of a CFC (in terms of bytes), you can do it this way. I talked a bit about this here (with links to info on doing heap dumps):
