Quite a lot, but mainly due to contrib stuff, not core.

In this case, it is the site's dependence on the project module suite, which
is a huge code base.

With Drupal 6, it was the first time ever that we did NOT eat our own dog
food prior to releasing the next stable version.

So, it goes again to : "it depends", i.e. how a given site was put together,
what modules were used, which are of the shelf (contrib), and which are in
house, any modifications to core or contrib, ...etc.
