Every routine that is not explicitly declared in-line will necessitate |
| 10 |
setting up a stack frame which is costly enough already. |

|
| 12 |
With SSP every subroutine call will require an additional reading from |
| 13 |
/dev/urandom to set up the "canary" value. This my also deplete the |
| 14 |
kernel entropy pool. |

If you want it take it but please allow me to opt out. |
