'-release' disables asserts and array bounds checks, and removes pre- 
and post-condition blocks (in{}/out{}) on functions.

You could also try marking the function 'final' if it's never 
overridden. This allows the compiler to bypass the vtable (saving a few 
instructions per call) if calling through a class reference[1] and may 
make -inline more effective.


[1]: It won't work for interfaces, and struct member functions are 
implicitly final.
