My employer is using VC8 with STLPort 5.1 . While I cannot quite compare 
performance or multi-threading aspects of its behaviour with the one 
that ships with VC8, we are quite happy with it and the performance is 
good. We also customised user config header to have STL debug iterators 
enabled in debug mode only (this requires a bit of caution linking with 
STLPort runtime library). We are using it together with boost 1.33.1 , 
but we did not bother to build it (using header-only libraries). I would 
warn against using versions of STLPort older than 5.1.3, though (crash 
in strncpy_s).
