Greetings all.
I took a few days of vacation recently, so I'm just now catching up with
the mailing list (and I need to read over the referenced document). I
recently filed a task in jira (STDCXX-366) on the issue of creating a
benchmarking infrastructure. I will be adding the couple links
referenced in this thread to the issue in a comment, and if anyone sees
specific tasks related to the creation of a benchmarking infrastructure,
I invite them to create a subtask of this issue for the action proposed.

Since Apache STDCXX is touted as one of, if not the, best standard C++

be especially interesting read for performance-minded STDCXX maintainers
and users.

I barely just skimmed it but it does look interesting. We started
a benchmarking project some time ago but, unfortunately, it never
got finished. It would be *really* helpful to resurrect and complete
it. My very informal results I run every now and then with gcc on
Linux and Solaris indicate that in the area of iostreams stdcxx is
up to 25% faster than GNU libstdc++ and on par with stdio. I would
very much like to see a comprehensive comparison of other heavily
used components, including string and the other containers. Any
volunteers? ;-)
