The problem is that parse takes its first argument by reference, and
va.begin() is a temporary.  If I take a copy of va.begin() and pass that
it works fine.  I don't see how this compiled in MSVC (does
string::begin() return a non-const reference?), but anyway.  Here are
the icc results (Intel Core2 Quad 2.83GHz, Gentoo):

Loop count:  10000000
Parsing:  42.5
xpressive:  4.28591
spirit-quick(static):  1.4721
spirit-quick_new(threadsafe):  1.46949
spirit-grammar(threadsafe/reusable):  1.59846

and gcc-4.4.0:

Loop count:  10000000
Parsing:  42.5
xpressive:  3.62948
spirit-quick(static):  1.02657
spirit-quick_new(threadsafe):  1.00637
spirit-grammar(threadsafe/reusable):  1.01748

gcc 4.3 is still ICEing.
