Besides the point that the two are not comparable, code size results
are in the sheet I linked to in the proposal; there's no negative
impact.  The feature has been enabled by default in OpenSUSE for
nearly a year and there have been no noticeable performance issues
reported there either.  IMO the magnitude of improvement is such that
a benchmark shouldn't be a blocker for this feature, but if that's
what FESCO insists, I'll be happy to run whatever benchmark they
suggest.
