I'm also wondering about how much compilers really inline code. This is a key variable re performance of templated code like this and I'm sure its hard to pin down. Worse yet, I'm betting it varies all over the place for different compilers.
No kidding, for templated, inlined code like RCF, I've found huge differences in performance just by compiling the same program with a different compiler. Modern versions of Visual C++ and CodeWarrior come out the best, while gcc (3.x) is a real slowpoke, producing code that is both fat and slow. Hopefully with successive compiler releases those differences will fade, but who knows. Jarl.
