While it indeed moves the code to a separate function I'm not sure by how
much it improves performance.
Is it noticeably better, can you provide a short performance summary with
and without this patch? Is that the case for both single and multi-segment
scenarios, or was this improvement at the cost of a degradation in the
latter case?
If it splits a large function in two smaller ones for readability and no
performance validation was done on this specific patch alone, please not
label it as a performance improvement. I'm fine with readability
improvements when properly identified as such.
A few additional comments below.

Should be static only, leave the rest to the compiler. This function is
large enough that it shouldn't make much of a difference anyway (unless
proved otherwise).

Having all this part non-inline could degrade multi-segment performance, is
