According to JonB[1] there have been about 84 Million tiles requested the last 6 months, this is the break down of how many tiles you can invalidate by using tileposition. Example: at zoom 16 you would get 54% less rerenders, if I haven't done this all wrong. Doesn't seem that costly to spend 300M*18bit*2=1,4GB and get 100%.
