There is overhead involved to pass the message to the target to
execute TOGGLE. However, once it begins actually executing TOGGLE,
there shouldn't be any.

Run "SEE TOGGLE" for the two versions of TOGGLE you have and see
what code they generate.

If it's really that time-critical, I'd write it in assembly. It
should be simple enough to write, and you'll take all the guesswork
out of it.
