Just for the record: ocamlopt does perform inlining across compilation
units (via the information stored in .cmx files).  What it doesn't do,
however, is inlining and specialization of recursive function definitions.  

Two more points before I stop reading this "yet another stupid
micro-benchmark" thread:

* http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/speed.html is mandatory reading before
  making any performance claim about OCaml.
* http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/ is a (rare) example of a
  non-stupid inter-language performance comparison.
