I found your page comparing performance with other Runge-Kutta 
implementations.

http://headmyshoulder.github.com/odeint-v2/performance.html

The documentation indicates you have support for various types of stepper.

http://headmyshoulder.github.com/odeint-v2/doc/boost_numeric_odeint/odeint_in_detail/steppers.html

Have you considered whether the odeint API could act as an interface to 
CVODE or CVODES in Sundials?

https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/sundials/main.html

If that works, then it validates the odeint API.  If there are gaps or 
inefficiencies, then they may indicate improvements for odeint.

Thanks,
Daniel
