I would be a bit surprised if your first point was true. Please give me a couple examples of optimizations that depend on function size.

foreach(string x in y)
{
   x = x.Trim().ToLower();
   DoSomething (x);
}

function DoSomething(string s)
{
   if (s.StartsWith("hello"))
   {
       s = "test";
   }

foreach(string x in y)
{
   x = x.Trim().ToLower();

var vidsWithOutPics = vidList.Except(vidsWithPics).Where(v => !v.IsAlternateTitle);

var inDuration = DiskFile.GetAll().Where(df => !df.HasDuration).Select(df => df.Video).Distinct();

var noSizeList = videoFiles.Where(file => file.Bytes < 0 && files.Contains(file.Location));

var inDuration = DiskFile.GetAll().Where(df => !df.HasDuration).Select(df => df.Video).Distinct();

var inDuration = Distinct(Select(Where(DiskFile.GetAll(), Video), HasDuration));

Would you like to write and debug "Except" each time you need it?

calling a style "cancer" just because you don't want to learn how to read and use it

Well, no, Harold, I haven't seen that style because I haven't read any buggy code that was written by someone who did not know that the 'ForEach sequence iterator only works on a List<T>, and will fail on an IEnumerable<WhatEver> ... until ... now
