To add to what null_pointer said, if you inline functions too much, they obviously take up more space in memory. That increased space increases the likelihood of you overflowing the cache, which is going to incur a performance hit. Whereas if you''d just used a single instance of that function, the code would probably be still cached across subsequent calls. Of course, this is starting to get too low level to worry about at the start, but the general idea is that inlining anything more than a line or 2 long is perhaps counterproductive.

Yup, I know...
I''ve ironed out the huge performance hit from my original vector class, and now I''m simply finishing the entire application before having a second look at what''s slow, and how to make it faster.

Should be interesting to see how much I can squeeze out of it later
