Obviously, inlining functions with loops tend to have lower

I feel a bit awkward disagreeing with you about a topic like
this, because of your obviously huge amount of expertise, but
this seems just totally wrong in a few situations:
Combining loops.
Loops where the length is a compile-time constant in the calling
context.
Loops where a conditional in the loop is a compile-time constant
in the calling context.
