[fpc-devel] inline... and philosophy

[J. Gareth Moreton]

i'm willing to accept I have a lot to learn if you can educate me on 
little intricacies like that, so I may better submit code to the 
compiler.  I don't want to say it's 'just wrong' though as there might 
be gains in some situations.  I guess it has something to do with memory 
page sizes, right?
