This is completely ridiculous. An indirect call vs a direct call
will cost you some pipeline turbulence and the cache may be flushed, 
really not a big deal.

Have you MEASURED the slowdown? Is it significant in relationship
to OTHER improvements in your code?

Have you profiled your code to KNOW where it is spending 90% of the
time?

Before you answer THOSE questions, worrying about direc/indirect
calls is WASTED time and effort.
