Oh, sure, I certainly wasn't going to use C :-)

Well, it's not so clear that that helps; I have enough feeds to be 
confusing, but not so many that the amount of traffic from each is 
particularly stable.  What I really want is to actually find the articles 
so I can look at them -- figuring out which feed is responsible is 
secondary.

(What's feedcount?)

Seems to be purely in bytes, but I don't keep good track of "normal" 
article count.
