What's the storage multiplier for TokuMX vs. straight mongodb? Will my total size on disk go up or down?

Most users should expect a big reduction in disk space. Depending on your data and level of fragmentation with regular MongoDB, you could see ~4x-20x reduced disk usage.
If I've understood their marketing material correctly, it should go down a fair amount thanks to extensive use of compression.
