Today, I measured a savings of ~130KiB when both options were removed.  I
also did the original size measurements back in 2000-whatever.  I’m guessing
that the difference is due to improvements in compiler technology.

There’s a good argument to be made for doing a house-cleaning of GENERIC
between now and when FreeBSD 12.0 is released.
