It's more relevant to look at just code size. BUG_ON() has more of an 
impact on data sizes, because it does something like 10-12 bytes of 
exception data for each bug-on. But that exception data is out-of-line and 
not interesting.

If the code size blows up a lot, that's worse than if the data size 
expands a bit.
