That may be almost true now.  But, I don't know how true it is
that they're fast now.  I haven't checked the x86 manuals in three
to five years.  Even if they're fast now, CALL and RET still have
some overhead that's not present with inlining.  Historically,
CALL and RET being fast on x86 wasn't true.

The problem with RET on modern x86 - according to those on
c.l.a.x. - is that it must be _matched_ with a CALL or it causes a
slowdown of the processor.  E.g., the RET location was pushed
onto the stack via PUSH instead of by a CALL.
