Template is likely to inline.  Even if it doesn't it will be one less 
pointer indirection then a delegate.  Basically imagine as a copy past 
operation.  That's the easiest thing for the compiler to do, copy in 
your arguments.

The reason it may decide not to is due to template code reuse and yes 
that could be implementation specific.
