: external macro       - 1026,47 [s]
: internal macro       -  350,73 [s]

  As I thought.

  This means that if you are using some #included macros in really tight
loops which are taking lots of time to parse, you'd better just copy-paste
the used macros from the include file to the beginning of the current file
to gain parsing speed.

: external function    -  179,62 [s]
: internal function    -  178,68 [s]

  This was also predictable and good to know: Functions in #included files
are not slower than functions in the current file, so they can be used
without worries.
