Cool way to catch the problem, but some of the failing tests are failing for other reasons like this (on factory-win7.kitware) and for some reason they all pass on the Mac. Looks like 44 fail on ubuntu, that might be the more accurate count.

Hello,

A user yesterday, was reporting that going from ITK 3.20 to ITK 4.1, the SignedMaurerDistanceMapImageFilter was running more that 2x-3x the time. With a little bit of poking around and sampling the run time, I was able to develop the following patch:

I find that difference to be quite significant difference, and is on the level of a bug.

The lead me to wonder how wide spread is this incorrect usage. So I added an atomic counter to the GetInput, and GetOutput methods, and when they exceed a threshold, an exception is throw. This is to detect when these methods may be used in an inner loop.

I get the following test failure (where previously there was none):

How big of a deal if most of the filters here are running 2x+ slower then what they should be? Is it big enough to delay the Release and do another RC with the fixes?

I have also been looking at the methods used in GetInput, specifically the methods used to create the std::string... It seems to be if we change the return value to a const std::string &, then we could keep a static internal table of the common value and return reference to the static table to even, references to what is in the std::map, the would reduce the need for mallocs for std::string.

Thoughts on what to do?
