Inline Functions

Thanks for the reply.
 
> A JavaVM like HotSpot is more refined than the backend of DMD, its GC is much more refined and more efficient, it's much better in inlining virtual methods, its data structures are usually better performance-tuned, etc. The D language is newer than Java, and it has enjoyed far less money, developers and users.> 

Very well put! But, do you know if there is a way to force inlining where I want it?  Someone mentioned to me that template mixins may work...?  I would rather not inline all the code by hand, as I would like to trust the compiler.

No, I have not profiled the D code other than using an FPS counter... :-) To be honest, I'm fairly light on experience when it comes to profiling. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it happen?

Bye,
