Thank you both for the answers,
fair enough, it is a trade off; anyway this is not the method I will be calling
at every time step of a MC simulation.

I was curious though and I have checked the assembler code VC++ generates with
an inlined virtual member. On the default compilation it ignores me and does not
inline but it does with -Ob1 and -Ob2. Naively though the vt ptrs might
dissapear but of course they are there for their local stacks.
