Hello,

Would you, please, tell in more detail about the overhead in binary
size? What are approximate numbers of it? And how badly the
compilation time decreases? I used boost::bind a lot, but haven't
noticed that the overhead makes so much difference. Opposite example
would be valuable.

Thanks,
Dmitriy.
