You can look at this recipe and use it and modify it for your needs:

  http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/DeltaBytesRecentChanges

It displays the number of bytes (characters) added or deleted to a page.

Also, you can see the function "sms" at

  http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/DebuggingForCookbookAuthors

You can place your statistics in the (:messages:) markup which appears in 
Preview mode.

Thanks,
