Can you please state the criteria that make you say that ptyfs is expensive?

The size of the ptyfs kernel module (amd64)
text      data      bss dec      hex  filename
10001     328       0   10329    2859 ptyfs.kmod

The sizes of the install kernels between releases (amd64 again):

text            data     bss    dec             hex     filename
10185579        5693216  781728 16660523         fe382b netbsd-5.2.3-INSTALL
11234409        5724168  623712 17582289        10c48d1 netbsd-6.1.5-INSTALL

We can do the same with whichever kernel you want.
