9696 * It needs around 1.8 bytes per element per factor 0.1 of false positive rate.
97- * (More accurately: 3/(log(256)*log(2)) * log(1/fpRate) * nElements bytes)
97+ * For example, if we want 1000 elements, we'd need:
98+ * - ~1800 bytes for a false positive rate of 0.1
99+ * - ~3600 bytes for a false positive rate of 0.01
100+ * - ~5400 bytes for a false positive rate of 0.001
101+ *
102+ * If we make these simplifying assumptions:
103+ * - logFpRate / log(0.5) doesn't get rounded or clamped in the nHashFuncs calculation
104+ * - nElements is even, so that nEntriesPerGeneration == nElements / 2
105+ *
106+ * Then we get a more accurate estimate for filter bytes:
107+ *
108+ * 3/(log(256)*log(2)) * log(1/fpRate) * nElements
