Tens? Or else, the area is very small (county or smaller), or the zoom
level is not thought to match Google Maps (does not go down to 20).
See this spreadsheet to estimate the size of a tile cache for a fully
developed tile cache, on disk,
for a certain area:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq3GF1EnUyHEdHlDSW03cno4NzUzRFVHQzlGeU9YYXc#gid=0

I've filled it with the Massachusetts bounds, at level 20 the tile cache
uses 4TB of disk.
You don't go very far with one of the above for each possible
time/elevation value...

Cheers
Andrea
