expireover does it.  Buffer will be filled up, unless it runs.

Forget what cnfs does for buffindexed.  It differs from CNFS.

There were some examples here(inn-workers) before.  I can't
remember it right now, but you'll calculate the number of
stored articles.  About 300bytes per article for the overview,
very simple assumption though.
