Estimating Database size per newsgroup

Hi,

I wanted to know if there was a way to see how much space either a newsgroup or a virual group/sub folder is taking up.
I pull in various different newsgroups, and only save after a while. Sometimes I need to know which one is taking the most room to empty that one first.
If there is no way to see this, could this bee added as a feature?

virtual groups/folders don't take disc space, these are arrays of pointers to database records which are released when you close the header view, in the workspace folders are just icons, they don't take space.

Alex,
thanks for the reply.
I realised that the virtual groups were just pointers. What I meant was is there a way to calculate how much space is taken up by the "real" newsgroups that have downloaded bodies, but not saved bodies?
I was then wondering if it was possible to calculate the size of the collective newsgroups that are collected under 1 virtual folder/group.
