I recently had to run an AUDITDB on one of my ADSM/VM V2 servers.
   Total DB size     9,360 MB (4 RAMAC-2 3338-cylinder volumes)
   % Used               75 %
   Pages Used          1.8 million
   Files stored         12 million (per "Q OCCUPANCY")
   Processor      9672-R35
   AUDITDB run time     60 hours

As the AUDITDB executes, you'll see periodic "objects processed". In my
case it processed 98 million objects at a fairly consistent rate of about
1.5 million objects per hour. At the time I had no idea how many "objects"
would ultimately be processed, but in hindsight it worked out to about 8
"objects" per file stored. Your mileage may vary.
