A while back I wrote some code which made heavy use of small
boost::functions, using Boost 1.33.1. The performance hit was pretty grim,
and in the end I had to take thme out and use non generic hand rolled
solutions.

However, we have recently upgraded to Boost 1.37, and I notive from all
the Boost version issue docs that a small function optimization was
added in n Boost 1.35.

Can anyone tell me in general terms what was done, and possibly if
I'm likely to find the performance significantly better now.

Many Thanks, Rob.
