I'm almost completely sync'd, so I don't have handy transfer numbers.
Here are some numbers for the full content tree:

     7.6 GB
   28050 files

I exclude some branches of the content tree because I'm usually on the
other end of a 768Kb/s DSL line.  An empty sync using Perforce takes
about 1.3 seconds over DSL.  When files need to be transferred, the
transfer rate is limited to the DSL speed (Perforce doesn't appear to
use any rsync-like tricks, which would be nice).  But generally I sync
to the full repository whenever I feel like I need to (several times a
day); the delay is not a consideration.

On a LAN, sync's are obviously much faster, but I don't have figures
for that.
