Well, it's empty until you start using it (by building (parts of) the
tree). That's why the "newfs trick" is a safe way to start from
scratch.

Mine is 2G, but the size depends on a lot of things. What arch are you
building for ? Do you only build kernels ? Full make build ? Making
Xorg ? I have 'WRKOBJDIR=/usr/obj/ports' for ports building, that also
takes some room.
So the correct answer is "depends". With current disksizes, giving it
a couple of G's shouldn't hurt and will give you plenty of room to do
whatever.
