Yes, but I removed asm locally (should not be need for runtime anyway
in this case), and the difference was still there. From what I could tell
it was because the constructor of inplace_vector from {'a', 'b', 'c'} was
not
constant folded, due unitialized element.
I will check that with your patch tomorrow.
