Hello Alex, you might try using the precompiled headers option and
adding #include <boost\ptr_container\ptr_vector.hpp> to the
precomp header (usually "stdafx.h" for MFC projects). This usually speeds
things up orders of magnitude. The drawback is that this feature is a little fragile
in VC++ 6.0 and you might need to ocassionally do fresh rebuilds when the
compiler chokes with strange error messages or ICEs.
