- In a very limited problem domain. As benchmarks go, Dhrystone is pretty
- bogus, so be cautious drawing any grand conclusions from these numbers.
- In particular, it tends to be dominated by calls to string manipulation
- routines, so heavy inlining can be a *big* win on Dhrystone, much bigger
- than it would be in a more "real-world" test.
