That's pretty significant, because if you can disable breakpoints,
then you can disable perf. Together they make quite a chunk.

breakpoints + perf:

text data bss dec hex filename
1567422 348628 511680 2427730 250b52 vmlinux


none:

text data bss dec hex filename
1478031 333220 508256 2319507 236493 vmlinux
