Comment:

 The number of observable backtraces in gdb do not give any indication
 about the efficiency of the library. Sure, boost.bind gets away with less.
 Phoenix just does more. Most of those function calls you see come out of
 proto.

 FWIW, tests have been conducted by the author of Boost.Local which
 investigated exactly those issues raised, all of them raised in this
 ticket could not be verified
 (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/local_function/doc/html/boost_localfunction/alternatives.html).
