This is not a style that I'm familiar with or comfortable with.
It reminds me of people putting "register" in front of declarations.
Typically there's little or no performance benefit,
and sometimes performance even gets worse.
And there's a definite cost to maintenance.

These days it's typically better to let the compiler do its own
optimization, and to intervene manually only when you know
better than the compiler, because you've measured
the benefit in this or in similar circumstances.

However, since the code in question is Windows-specific,
I'll defer to your judgement here.
