box: mitigate the tuple.perftest gcc regression

Because of inlining rules some parts of comparators aren't optimized
properly by the gcc compiler, this causes a regression introduced by
the sort order implementation.

This patch introduces inline hints for the compiler in order to
mitigate the regression.
