For the benefit of those not versed in C++ - this is probably a joke library :) - like the Sokal hoax where he submitted a paper of total gibberish to a humanist journal to prove that the medium is ready to accept any vacuous claims as long as they fall into a particular mould[0]. If this is not obvious to you, start to think about the numbers in the benchmark, and remember it's really friggin easy to do silly errors in C++ with massive consequences on runtime and resource consumption. So, in real life, if you do something utilizing the basic library and the numbers are way off, debug, re-read the code, benchmark. Step through the code in the debugger. Litter it with printfs and so on. If a novice, read through stackoverflow and other resources, and go through the manual pages of the suggested implementation, and understand what is going on under the hood (try to translate the solution into C in your head). Anything but careening away to create your own custom library. Comments in this thread provided several explicit things wrong with this already.
