Couchbase Sync Gateway Data Usage

Hi

For some background we have an Android application that we run with couchbase as its main database, this database is connected with a continuous push-pull replicator to our sync gateway.

I am looking to get some more understanding on strategies to minimise mobile data usage from my application. some questions I thought of are

1. Does the entire document sync every time I make an update or just the fields that changed ?
2. If I am going to write to a document multiple times should I try wait until everything is ready and then only write to the document once ?
3. Would many small documents be more efficient than one large document so each write only uses the bare minimum amount of data.
4. Anyone have any suggestions on tools to watch the traffic or track the usage so I can get an idea of what areas are using the most data ?
5. Anyone have any of their own strategies they have found to optimise data usage ?

Thank you for any assistance
