This makes sense because data is in the pipeline instead of moving from L1. With inline constants, you eliminated the extra fetch from storage. Ask yourself if it's worth the effort to eliminate the extra L1 access. You're running C, Java, Python and ??? where you can save a few dollars instead of a few penniess.
