No, I use full optimization with g++ version 4.3: "CXXFLAGS=-O3
-Wno-deprecated" is in my Makefile. I also noticed that when I
explicitely use .visitor(default_dijkstra_visitor) or my derived class
without the "void finish_vertex(Vertex u, Graph g)" no harm is done.

In the header files I found the macro BOOST_GRAPH_EVENT_STUB being
applied to the default_bfs_visitor. Do I need to apply it to my derived
class as well?

I see the problem... You're passing your graph by value to the visitor function, meaning you're making a copy of the graph every time you visit a vertex. That should certainly account for the increased time :)
