We could handle this in the driver by adding -D__NO_INLINE__ I suppose.

$ clang --help | grep tradi
  -traditional-cpp        Enable some traditional CPP emulation

With clang TOT built by MSVC with optimizations and assertions I get:

$ time clang -E t.cpp -P > t
real    0m0.226s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.077s

Did you compile with optimizations?  Clang, being C++-y, relies pretty
heavily on compiler optimizations in order to get reasonable performance.
