There is a universe of excellent libraries.  However, I did not expect to 
see them resommended on this newsgroup.

IMHO the standard libraries are rather perverse when used for programs to be 
run on multi-processor machines - which many people own today.  Naive use of 
the STL containers, in particular, causes a multithreaded program to run 
slower on multi-processor machines.

I would like to see BOOST begin to address this issue, hence my post.
