> As an example, replacing boost::bind with lambdas allowed the compiler to inline functor calls and avoided virtual function calls in a large code base I've been working with, improving performance. And not just runtime performance; IME replacing bind() with lambdas typically significantly improves build time performance significantly. C++03 with C++11 features emulated via library trickery has terrible compile times compared to having the same features built in to the compiler.
