"Please note that the values computed by this action are not precise,
and should be used as a guideline only. Great effort was made to
estimate the correct size of a table, but in the end it is only an
estimate. The correct index size is even more of a guess than the
correct table size, but both should give a rough idea of how bloated
things are."
