Where performance::str_to_int does 

BOOST_ASSERT(parse() ), and
BOOST_ASSERT(i == str.end())

performance_string_to_int_spirit does 

if !parse() return false.
return i == str.end()

Could it be that the assert function adds some overhead (passing the
filename and linenumber), which explains the difference ?
