Description

@smklein and i have been worrying a lot about sitreps getting "big" or taking "a long time" to load or insert, but we don't actually have a way of measuring this at present. Because sitrep insertion and loading are "lock free" and don't require any transactions, we don't get transaction duration metrics, and we aren't recording anything about how much JSON we're actually stuffing into the database. It's probably worth having a way to actually measure these things...

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the sitrep insertion and loading paths and existing time-series or metrics instrumentation; clarify which approximate size and duration measurements are required, then consider the work done when those measurements are recorded and queryable for sitreps.
