It would be very useful, I believe in fact necessary in order to garner the interest of like-minded people who are currently unaware of current and potential performance advantages in STDCXX. What sort of light benchmarking did you have in mind? I've been scouring the net for benchmarking suites for C++ standard libraries. I'm really surprised to find very little...so far at least. Vendors must prefer to keep their benchmarks under wraps, not to mention their results. Anyone have pointers/links to C++ benchmarking software? Eric.
