That's correct, sorry.

Do you know if the object size increases with /any/ use of the operator
templates, or is it only a specific template that's causing the increase?

I find it curious that there's any increase at all in this case...

Here's a shot-in-the-dark workaround. I have no idea if it's even really
legal C++:

tempate< int X>
class Test
{
    struct GenerateOps
           : boost::less_than_comparable1<Test<X>
           , boost::equality_comparable<Test<X>
           , boost::addable<Test<X>
           , boost::subtractable<Test<X>
           , boost::multipliable<Test<X>
           , boost::dividable<Test<X>
           > > > > > > {};
    static GenerateOps;
.....
};
