Actually timing constraints is a weak argument. What about a case in which the
compiler sees the "INLINE" but determines that it is more efficient (time wise)
NOT to inline. If timing constraints are the major motivator then "inline" should
mean "make calling this fast, speed is more important than space, go ahead and
inline if it will help".
