1.1 billion calls per second??

None,

I think that the graph is labeled incorrectly. The line above states:

Figure 1 is a pretty picture of the results for Visual Studio 7.1, when
calling a method 100,000 times:



Hope this helps.
 
Yeah but the X axis is labelled as a RATE (ie calls per second), so, it is
POSSIBLE that 1.1Billion/sec was reached even though only 100,000 calls were
made.

IF that's a correct result is a whole other matter! He did state that it
was a very simple function so if he had a very fast CPU it may just be
possible (although I think it does seem a little high)

just my 2 cents anyways,

Can that possibly be right or is that chart mislabeled or am I just
interpreting it incorrectly?

Yes, it's possible.
The calls are inlined by the JIT compiler, resulting in only 5 IA32
instructions (involving only register access) per loop
5.5 Billion instructions/sec shouldn't be a problem for a >2.6 Ghz CPU.
