By all accounts it is pretty standard stuff. Google will find you some
people who are pulling it apart.

>From what I've read it stores very little about each contact but even
allowing for it to store (say) 100 bytes per contact, that's 10,000
contacts per megabyte, or 10 million per gigabyte. I suppose if someone
were already very low on space this could cause problems, but that is
hardly the application's fault.
