[fpc-devel] Optimization theory

[J. Gareth Moreton]

 Aah, I was in error. I used agner as my source, but even that says 5
cycles for a near call and 17-33 for a far call, so I'm not sure where I
got 50 from. My apologies. I have probably been avoiding function calls
more than necessary!

 That number sounds awfully high, what's your source?
