If you have 1 million users that's a lot of storage space.  I'm not even 
going to guess what the term would be.  That exceeds Terrabytes and 
Pecabytes.  Must be in the exabyte range, or maybe Google just head off and 
build a Yottabyte storage facility?

I wonder if they are applying some form of compression on the database?
