Not much more.  We're talking a few sectors, hardly something to loose  
sleep over, even on small disks (which would also tend to have fewer  
partitions, generally, and thus fewer sectors used for the partition  
map).  The slop space between the beginning of the partition and the  
file system superblock "wastes" much more.
