Re: [Boost-users] google.stringencoders vs (boost.string_algo & boost.lexical_cast)

stringencoders are told to be 2x faster than std approaches. But what about boost?

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.
