Yes of course.  I just reacted on your wrong conclusion, which followed
from non-bad effects in SPEC, that Richard has unusual inlining needs.  In
fact I rather think, that SPEC has unusual ones.

The underlying reason is most probably what you speculated about, namely
the (sometimes) totally wrong heuristic of calculating the number of
instructions based on the tree statements.


Ciao,
