Austin, that's the biggest load of bull I've read in a long time. Smaller size often(not always) means faster execution. Better instruction cache means faster running code, and when its smaller it can be faster than a compile that is optimized for speed. Rarely have I seen significant differences in the two, so don't expect miracles in either case. Too much inlining can bloat the size of the code, resulting in slower code, there is a point of diminishing returns, so it's misleading to imply that smaller code means slower code. That's wrong.
