[Boost-users] Templates and compiler performance...

Folks,
I have recently come upon template meta programming. 
The powers of metaprogramming are very evident to me. 

However, I have been unable to find references to recent 
performance numbers for how various compilers compare
with extensive use of templates. 

Compile-time and run-time comparisons would be of value. 

Specifically, my interest is for the following three compilers
- Microsoft's VC++
- gcc
- Intel's compiler. 

(The later the versions on these, the better).

Any pointer's to answers or efforts that are aiming to accomplish 
the same would be much appreciated. 

thanks,
