inline Lua?

[Chris <coderight@...>]

Looking through the Lua code I see many tiny functions in the
core.  I'm wondering what kind of speedup (if any) could be
achieved by making these functions inline instead of normal calls.

Has anyone tried this and measured the results?

Probably the easiest way to test this would be with the Microsoft
compiler because it can inline function calls from object code (maybe
ICC can do this as well; ?).  You wouldn't need to move the
function implementations to a header, you could just declare them
__inline.  At least for initial testing to see what kind of
difference it makes in the VM size and performance.
