I don't mind to do that, either.

Yes, but my point was not about how do I, as a programmer, perceive
this additional procedure, but how the compiler copes with indirect
calls via access value. It looks like this is too much for the
compiler to do full inlining of the above, which can hit the
performance considerably, especially when your local procedure itself
is lightweight, which is frequently the case.
