Statistical distribution of object size

[dbpokorny at gmail.com]

Hi,

In a typical heavy-use python application (say running Zope for
dukehealth.org) what is the (statistical) distribution of the the size
of objects? (i.e. start up server, stop time when it has been under
load for a few hours, and put each object into a bucket marked with the
number of bytes it is allocated, and maybe labeled with object type,
say dict, list, other). Does anyone know of any research on this?

I would do this myself, but my website only has one user...

Thanks for any info,
David
