When I measured a few months ago, I came with these nice examples:
– gtk2 libs: 520 -> 120 MB, compared to 15.09
– firefox: 660 -> 240 MB

These went well, as I had gone through the whole closure of the packages
and managed to split each without much work per-package.

Hydra shows graphs of closure size evolving over time for each job, but
there the problem is that it measures the closure of all outputs *together*.
