It is the other way around. 9p can't handle latency so on
high latency pipes programs using 9p won't be as fast as
programs using streaming (instead of rpc). Granted that there
are many other factors when it comes to hg & replica but
latency is a major one.

I am suggesting modern compilers should ignore the inline
keyword and be cache aware. For the same reason as why the
register keyword is mostly ignored. People are wont to use
inlining in the hope of improving performance (just as they
used register). Sometime it is better to fix a program than
try educating the hordes.

Actually what I'd really like to suggest is C++ shouldn't
be used at all :-)
