Mats, inline functions defeat the original purpose of hiding the

work after a change is made to the internals. An inline function
will not.
We have been pulling them from objects like Session where we know the
object will be public facing. For Classes which are not I have less
concern (and I share with you the believe that the half dozen
instructions required do not really matter in the long run). Its about
locks right now and basic concurrency. If in two years we are sitting
on boxes with 128 cores are we really going to care about the
individual processor?
I don't think we will.
