  This benchmark shows how indirect function calls have nearly
  the same overhead costs as direct function calls.
  
  This is comparing apples to apples, factoring out the savings
  due to inlining optimizations that direct calls usually afford.
    
  From this, it seems that inlining and other generic interprocedual
  optimizations are the main drivers of direct function call optimization,
  not the direct call itself.
