The only accurate answer is "it depends".

It depends on the factorization being undertaken.

It depends on where precisely you are sieving (i.e. which line you're sieving).

The size per hour depends on what else your machine is doing at the same time.

To give you some ballpark figures, a machine picked entirely at random sieved the 838 lines from b=2765500 to b=2766338 in 7948 seconds and produced 2157 relations. Eventually, the results were stored on the server I run and the file holding them takes 134930 bytes.

Note that 7948 seconds is 2.208 hours, and so this machine produced a shade under 60 kilobytes per hour.

Your milage will vary, but you should be able to calibrate your system reasonably well from the figures quoted.

Thank you very much. Thats what I need.

btw, is there some WU size increase by the time? first I've got 2 lines, then 5, etc.

Yes, as you observed, the initial assignments are rather small.
They steadly increase over time if all goes well.
The server attempts to limit the assignments to approximately 2 hours.
