Probably best to compare BSD "crunchgen" images with and without ssh/sshd. (2MB total for statically-linked ssh and sshd as I compile it.)
A friend of mine here at uni wrote a much, much smaller sshd replacement he calls "dropbear". Its much, much smaller than sshd. Much smaller. http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html I think its very very cute. Perhaps some vendors with small memory footprints would consider implementing this kind of tiny sshd?
