I was refering to the "udev" line (116K vs. 2.6M in /dev).

As I said, that depends.

Because a filesystem that isn't mounted when not needed can't be corrupted 
or its contents accidentally deleted. I tend to only mount things when they 
are really needed. I also use the automounter for removeable media and the 
Gentoo specific stuff like distfiles and building 
(/gentoo/distfiles, /gentoo/build).
