real numbers are nice.
it's approximately 4 kbytes, and up to 50 messages per day during "hectic
time" (such as November 16). I think the total is around 4000 messages/year.
so at 33.6 kbits/sec, it is around 45 seconds of added download time for
each day of I-D announcements. Your modem speed and efficiency may vary.
