That is what I thought from beginning.
So my question remains:
If I run my code with default values, method decode in not inlined 
because of inline size threshold.
If I set MaxInlineSize=250, it should be inlined, because it has only 
189 bytes.
My code runs a loop 10 * 25 on a 65536 byte array, so the decode method 
is executed 8,192,000 times.
Why it is not inlined then ???

OK, my question more exactly is, what is a call site?
