Roland,
"bloated slow path" makes sense to me too and answers my original question.
"messier and harder to read" - I don't buy that.

Since most are inlined currently, whoever commits the change please
add that comment about "bloated slow path" to the patch/commit that
changes "non-data path" inline functions to regular functions.
(then I promise I won't ask again :^)

thanks,
