Or, you can perform the calculation on page 391 of the manual entry on -memory-:
********************************
sysuse lifeexp, replace
memory
di "File memory usage (including pointer overheads) is: " ///
	r(width)*_N + 8*_N " bytes."
********************************

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
