Without the bloated cplus_demangle from binutils, i.e building with:
$ make NO_DEMANGLE=1 O=~acme/git/build/perf -j3 -C tools/perf/ install
Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
471851 29280 4025056 4526187 45106b /home/acme/bin/perf
After:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ size ~/bin/perf
text data bss dec hex filename
446886 29232 4008576 4484694 446e56 /home/acme/bin/perf
So its a 5.3% size reduction in code, but the interesting part is in the git
diff --stat output:
19 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 1909 deletions(-)
If we ever need some of the things we got from git but weren't using, we just
have to go to the git repo and get fresh, uptodate source code bits.

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.
