Greg gave me an "I assume so" estimate that udev was smaller by excluding
the size of sysfs a while back. If you include sysfs in udev's overhead
then I believe devfs wins handily, but I haven't done the numbers to
prove it so my estimate is no better. I'm just basing it on sysfs being
absolutely huge, in linux-tiny terms.
