I'm trying to process it using the tool I wrote at BoostCon:
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/tools/profile_templates

Unfortunately, I had to kill the compiler (gcc 4.3.0 on cygwin)
after 2 hours.  I'll post the results when I'm done processing
the output.  (I have less than 10 GB to go)

In the meantime, it might help to write a custom metafunction class
rather than using MPL lambda.

In Christ,
