[boost] [function] timing trivia

Just a note to say thanks for boost::function ;-) Just completed some timings of the cost of a boost function call using a boost::function<void (void)> and a raw function pointer versus inlining the function's code directly into the source. For my circumstances (your mileage may vary): Calling via raw function pointer = 314 microseconds +/- 1 Calling via boost function variable = 328 microseconds +/- 1 Only 14 microseconds of difference. Nice work, I was expecting much more. Regards, Matt Hurd. Note: Optimised VC7.1 output, winXP 1a, Athlon 2800+ (2.09GHz)
