I'd advise checking out "whatever objects you load" before going
ahead with this plan. It might be only a few tens of MB as others have
noted; otoh, if you have a large ZODB and typical usage involves
many many objects loaded at once, you might find yourself up in
the hundreds.  My dev server is using 170 MB right now and
that's pretty typical for us.
