My practical experience suggests that if you have a proper optimizing   
   compiler with lots of phases, you *can't* predict effects of inlining   
   on register allocation. There are too many phases between -- many of   
   them able to radically impact register allocation. You can't predict   
   all these phases.   
      
   I saw cases when a single additional strength reduction blew up   
   register allocation.
