do you have evidence that it's a win? ALWAYS_INLINE is a stick we use to beat the compiler on the head when it's making the wrong choice

Yeah, I was surprised clang did not inline those already. Usually clang is really good at figuring out this kind of stuff.

On the (very long) benchmark I ran, fastMalloc takes ~2%, and that was removing 1% of those 2%, so it helped very very little.

You know this code quite well. Do you know of any opportunity to make fastMalloc faster on ARM?
