While it is served from the cache, there is no way to calculate
bandwidth savings associated with a TCP_DENIED*. By the same metric,
TCP_NEGATIVE_HIT is served from the cache and has a size associated with
it and seems like a valid bandwidth savings metric to me.

* Ostensibly one could determine the size of the denied object to
determine the immediate/minimal bandwidth savings, but that would ignore
the possibility of the denied object referencing CSS, JavaScript,
images, etc. that a browser might further have requested. Further, the
object size would have to be determined out-of-band and (if an accurate
Content-Length header was not provided) might require downloading the
object which would negate the savings. *shrug*
