Yes, I suppose you're right.
Anyway, I used Chrome's bandwidth meter for a very short test (simply visit [url removed] #bandwidth in the browser), and I found that loading WFA takes about 1000 KB, and after that it takes about 2 KB per segment that you move forward (no matches displayed). WFA also consumes about 1 KB per minute for being idle (roughly 0.1 KB per 5 seconds).
I speculate that bandwidth usage will be higher if WFA also displays memory matches or other information, and possibly also for double-byte languages (?).
