Comment (by jrp at dial dot pipex dot com):

 Thanks.  Yes.  It's a matter of resource.  I wanted to spend time testing
 different approaches and algorithms rather than building a complete
 performance testing framework, particularly as I also want to test
 correctness.

 This library seems to do a good deal of the job very well, but some
 enhancements along the lines described above -- particularly reporting
 results -- would help.

 The Musser, Derge Saini STL bool (Chapter 19) provides a class for timing
 generic algorithms that has many of the features that I describe above.  I
 don't know how easy it would be to build something like it into
 Boost.Test.

 BTW, it would also be useful to have macros for the looser form of
 closeness testing to avoid warnings like

 ./perftest.cpp(773): error in "convolve_r2c_vector_in_place": difference
 between
  x[j]/nSamples{2.76119927e-008} and yout(j){0} exceeds 1%
