How much data(KBytes) does the ES futures contract + market depth comsume per hour ?

A rough idea about this number ?

 

imo-should be last thing to worry about..

 

I run 2 charts (tick/minute), 2 quote sheets and 2 marketdepth/matrix boxes for each.... using ES, ER2, NQ and Ym..... runs less than 56Kbytes most of the day... except right at open and news/fomc...
