* Get storage advice for each cache in an FFT data server.  Allows us to be
  more confident about the actual memory situation and cut over from memory
  to disc part way through an FFT calculation if necessary.  StorageAdviser
  is now a bit too optimistic though (it's too keen to allocate large numbers
  of small blocks in memory).
