The review is interesting, but of most relevant interest to boosters
would be the following:

"The C++ compiler is now faster, particularly on code heavy with
templates; the Standard C++ library has improved stream and strings
classes, and it includes preliminary new classes from the recent C++
Technical Report 1 (an update to Standard C++)."

The review is interesting. For those who don't wish to read through it,
basically 4.0 is more of an incremental version, no real performance
leaps in compilation or performance.
