Given boost::lexical_cast and boost::format are using standard C++ 
streams, which are known to be slower than C sprintf and even more 
slower than itoa dtoa, the answer seems obvious.

Now however, a string formatting DSEL could probably compete with this 
library.
I don't know if there is one in Boost.
