DataAPI calculations before MS 6?

[Ocean West]

Jesse mentioned in another post that in a future version of MirrorSync the plan is to replace the JDBC and to implement the DataAPI.

I am curious if there is any sort of data metrics that can be implemented in the current version so that we can plan for data consumption for synchronizations? 

Is the data API used to communicate to for setup of each sync and thus minimal data consumption and use the current   process for moving the data, or is all the data pushed via the DataAPI?

Curious...

We will use a very small amount of bandwidth during the setup process. We will use almost no bandwidth during the sync process; the Data API is used to initiate the sync process but the actual record data is sent using Insert from URL.
