At first I didn't understand how a virtual function can be inlined (in
C++), but after reading
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301407.aspx I understand.

I think fpc is not optimizing so much that it can detect when a
virtual function can be inlined. But maybe WPO
(http://wiki.freepascal.org/Whole_Program_Optimization) can do
something similar.
