I think it is language and context dependent.

Felix code (actual client program):

Without inlining:

$ wc -l hw.cpp hw.hpp
   14499 hw.cpp
    6818 hw.hpp
   21317 total

$ ls -l hw.o
-rw-r--r--  1 gchilds  unknown  831492 11 Feb 14:58 hw.o

With inlining

$ wc -l hw.cpp hw.hpp
    4264 hw.cpp
    1336 hw.hpp
    5600 total$ ls -l hw.o
-rw-r--r--  1 gchilds  unknown  116172 11 Feb 14:49 hw.o

4 -> 1 source code compression, 8 -> 1 object code
compression mainly due to inlining .. isn't a win??
