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
