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

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

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