I did a quick release build test using bcc32 5.6.4 and iterating over a 
list<int> using a simple for loop and BOOST_FOREACH showed that 
BOOST_FOREACH generates nearly twice as many instructions as using the 
hand-written for loop.

Borland's optimiser isn't great, so I guess that is part of the problem.
