The consideration isn’t binary size, but hot-loop cache coherency. Big binaries cause code-segment cache-line eviction.

Then that's a typical case of optimizing on the wrong metric.

Find a case where it's actually too slow, ok, but saying "A does X, and X can lead to Y, therefore A does Y" is wrong.

If you say the size of the binary is an issue, then give the issue, not how it could (or not) be an issue.
