Smaller by how much, and what portion grew?  Are we building things into
the kernel that previously was able to be compiled out?  Or is there
something new added after 4.9 that adds a huge memory increase?

Figuring that out would be good as you only have 1 more year for 4.9.y
to be alive, that's not going to last for forever...
