As a developer I don't use allyesconfig for submitting patches or testing
the kernel.

It does some work at boot to NOP out function entry points at _mcount
locations. Is that what you are referring to? Or the overhead of the
code in terms of size? Most distro kernels have tracing on by default.

The rest of the overhead is enablement based.

Thanks for the review!
