This isn't really a bug, it's more of a glorified "needinfo". Can I get an estimate of the amount of data collected by UI Telemetry for a long-running session? If we discover that UI Telemetry will be doubling or tripling the size of Telemetry payloads, we should tweak the UI event notation to be more compact and less repetitive.

One way to do that is to maintain our own internal count of how many times an event occurs as opposed to logging each event. This would mean not using UITelemetry's built-in event logging mechanism. That'd also sidestep the potential privacy issue brought up by bug 944116, since we wouldn't record timestamps at all.

Let's suppose that each day, a user triggers 500 events that are logged. Let's suppose that each log is approximately 100 bytes long. This equals an upper bound of 1.5MB. That is quite high. :/

With bug 945499, we have a much nicer upper-bound on packet size. I don't think this bug is a concern anymore.
