There isn't such a crippling difference between straight-line and code with unconditional branches in it with modern processors. In fact, there's very little measurable difference.
If you're looking for something to blame hurd performance on I'd suggest the entire design of Mach, not inline asm vs procedure calls. Tossing a few context switches into calls is a lot more expensive.

And if you think that's } unimportant for performance, well, as Al would say, go back playing } with Hurd. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
