I haven't looked at the assembler output but is possible that the
compiler removes the loop completely. The actual execution times
however are too large for a body without the loop.

AFAIK the current compilers can only inline methods if the compiler
sees the method body at compile time. This leads to such ugly header
files as seen in some C++ code.
