Hmm. In this case I suggest compiling with -Winline and see if the 
reason for the time difference is really the inlining. 
In case -Winline does not give a warning, it may help if we have a 
look at the assembler code generated by gcc. 
Either there is a bug in gcc (-Winline does not work correctly), 
or the speed difference is due to some other reason (different code 
layout better for cache or whatever). 

Any other ideas?
