<h4>Effect on Compile Time</h4>
@@ -470,7 +476,7 @@
Compiling tuples can be slow due to the excessive amount of template instantiations.
Depending on the compiler and the tuple length, it may be more than 10 times slower to compile a tuple construct, compared to compiling an equivalent explicitly written class, such as the <code>hand_made_tuple</code> class above.
However, as a realistic program is likely to contain a lot of code in addition to tuple definitions, the difference is probably unnoticeable.
-Compile time increases between 5 to 10 percentages were measured for programs which used tuples very frequently.
