Sure. With our comparison program, MinGW-compiled-executables are 20% - 
50% faster than VC++ 2005 compiled-executables. So I've no complains. 
The compilation itself is slower though and uses much more memory.

Then: 2008 is for me (very weird) much much slower than 2005. Factor 5 
-  >10 slower (so 13.7 seconds instead of 0.94 seconds for a simplify). 
I checked and checked and cannot find anything I did wrong... Probably I 
did something wrong but cannot find. It would be good if someone else 
compares these two. I talked about this with a Microsoft guy at 
BoostCon. According to him the compilers are nearly the same. So there 
must be something different.
