well so right now the code does several checks:

• result data in format {0: key, 1: val}

  is limited to 8MB.

• then result data in format {_id: key, value: val} is limited to 16*2/3
  = 10MB.
• then final object limited to 16MB.

I think we should simplify:

• result data in format {0: key, 1: val}

  is limited to 16MB.

• then final object limited to 16MB.
  Unless something horrible happens if we create an object that is
  slightly more than 16MB.
