It helps reviewers to see the difference without checking themselves.
Also, it's not a waste of 15 minutes (that's my experience with pahole
when I started it first time), it's an investment to the future similar
changes by you or others. Believe me, as a reviewer you will find this tool
very helpful.
So, please try it once and then you will know how to do that again much
quicker.
