Well it obviously saves memory and image size too; I'm in the process
of merging bits from my -tiny tree. As bloat has a way of being
well-distributed across the code base, it's going to take many small
trimmings to cut it back. Most of the 150 or so patches I've got now
save between 1 and 8k. Doesn't sound like much, but it adds up.
