That all depends on how you define fair and accurate.

So what you're saying is that a person who logs on, reads 10K worth
of mail messages, then logs off should be charged for 10K bytes, while
someone who logs in and does the following...

$ SAS HUGEANALYSIS.SAS
<pause while CPU uses 17:30:15.31 in CPU time>
$ LO

Should only be charged for 26 bytes!?
