It depends.  Worst case, if you wanted to express a lot of things as
16-bit LUTs, I could see it reaching several megabytes.  More likely, in
the range of 10K, but it's going to depend upon exactly how finely you
want to calibrate things.

Honestly, even several megabytes strikes me as pretty small potatoes
these days.
