Hi,

I'd like to give some more information about the inliner changes I landed this 
week.

The goal was to restrict inlining to improve code size while not degrade 
performance (too much).
This was mainly achieved by improving the heuristic for the inlining decisions.
Some of our optimizations are still not as inlining-indepenent as we want them 
to be. Therefore I had to do some fine-tuning in the stdlib (e.g. with the new 
onFastPath builtin).
There are a few minor regressions, but overall performance looks ok.

The code size reductions are approximately:
stdlib: 3%
Benchmarks_O: 9%
Two larger applications: 15%, 20%

Erik
