Because to a very close approximation, all the overhead from these things comes from the deep macro expansions. And unlike timings, the pre-processor size is going to be (a) entirely repeatable, and (b) will also perhaps point out other worst-case scenarios. IOW, maybe there is something else that looks like that "min3()" horror, that can be more surgically fixed. Linus
