> The STL/Boost abstractions are much more inefficient. Well, the STL/Boost libraries are designed for certain goals. If you have different goals, you should use something different. But in any case, which specific abstractions are you talking? Which scenario are you optimizing for and what common case, worst case perf numbers are you looking to hit? >. (e.g. even name mangling can be a significant cost factor in Kernel.) What in the world are you talking about?
