Also if you upgraded Boost.Signal to Boost.Signal2 you would also get a healthy speed-boost as well (requires some code changes). Signals1 has a lot of inefficiencies that hobble it down, hence the redesigned Signals2 being vastly more efficient (and can be properly thread-safe too if you so wish, unlike Signals1). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
