That's odd. The dispatch routines are 16-byte aligned and the inlining doesn't grow the size of the routine above 16-bytes. Did actual .text size change, or just the library on-disk size?
My impression is that as caching is all that matters, the overhead of branching to a cache hot function vs the overhead of inlining the work is probaly going to very very small.. this sort of discussion has been going on in kernel land for ages.. computers don't work like they did 10-15 years ago, inlining isn't the magic it once was.. smaller code size is much more important...
