does not have to be finegrained, but it might be helpful to know if
we're doing 10 GB, 100 GB or 1 TB of WAL traffic on a particular
database, should the question of SSDs ever come up.
For example, yesterday I archived 74 WAL files, each 16MB. That's about 1.2 gigabytes for a database that takes up about 58 GB.
