Re: gcc/icc

I think heavy function calling is what occur in most Pike programs.

If it is recursing on one function or just say five-ten levels of function calling doesn't matter that much for the measure, I think. (Recall many backtraces that has less then say four levels?)

If anything, the iteration *without* function calls is a less common construct in Pike. Almost all those are on the C levels.

You should note that many common operations in expressions also yield function calls, for instance `+ on mappings and array creation.

I knew that, the strange thing for me was the recursive loops. It seems like such a strange construct. Is it commonly appearing in the "wild"?
