No. It's all auto generated.

The only cost is slightly bigger binary size.

I would hope your event files are auto generated too.

Only perf will get slightly bigger, but memory is not exactly expensive.

In fact, the extra memory won't even be faulted in if it's not used,
so it's only disk space.
