Is there much of an R value to sheetrock?

I'm getting ready to do the exterior walls in my garage (workshop)
here in the Portsmouth, NH area. I'm going to use R-19 exterior (2x6
walls) for the insulation. But I was thinking, they have this silver
pegboard at HD that would be kind of cool to use. My question is how
much of a loss would I suffer if I JUST used the pegboard and skipped
the sheetrock (1/2") altogether? The garage will be heated. The
dimensions are 20x20x11 and it is new construction.
Thanks in advance.

Sheet rock is normally taped and or sealed at the seams. Normally installed
sheet rock will certainly cut down of drafts over pegboard alone.
