Most compiler systems can only inline functions that they have the
source to. So, that would work if you wrote your own strcmp(), but not
with the (possibly highly optimized) system one. I've used the trick
of doing a one-char check before calling a function, and it provided a
very noticeable benefit (it wasn't in a MUD, and it was quite a few
years ago, however).

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.
