How to Calculate ColdFusion Cached Template Memory Consumption

Question

Specifically I'm trying to figure out a rough way to calculate a good value, relative to JVM settings, for CF Admin > Server Settings > Caching > Maximum number of cached templates.

So what I'm trying to figure out is whether or not it's possible to use the Admin API to get this information from ColdFusion? Or, if there's another way using Java for instance.
The only guidance I've found is from Adobe's documentation suggesting 1 template per megabyte allocated to the JVM.

Please no answers about profiling.

I know that you can see some of the template cache usage in the CF Server Monitor, but you may also be able to use something http://www.cftracker.net/page.cfm/features to see what's getting used in your cache.
