Although Doug'll probably pipe up saying in modern compilers/computers,
function call overhead time is negligible, etc.
I /have/ had a situation where the overhead made a difference though, in
a very low-level, high-traffic function.
I was optimizing an indexing process recently, and had a low-level
function that was called ~34 million times in a 50-second test run. If I
recall correctly, changing the function to a macro gave me a ~1% time
savings.
But that's more a matter of "negligible * infinite = noticeable". :)
