I had one big bad experience with std::unordered_map in the past, see topic
'Performance difference between std::unordered_map and boost::unordered_map'
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.c++.moderated/pFBjDiW6mW0).

Also a factor is that bugs get repaired more easily in Boost, while in vs
you mostly have to wait for a new version (if it is fixed).
