Re: Sigh. Inlining heuristics.

    Of course if you really make a "huge function", it is likely to have
    poorer performance due to icache pressure.

That strongly depends on the loop structure of that function.  If we have
a function that's straight-line code and calls, say, ten functions that
aren't called elsewhere, inlining those calls, no matter what the sizes of
the functions, is a performance win, though admittedly probably a small one.
