I was under the impression that it was the stringstream allocations rather than the exceptions. Unless you're generally throwing an exception for every single attribute or something.
Both. Optimizations to lexical_cast have been proposed before, not sure what the problem was to including them since they didn't change the interface, only changed performance. The exceptions hinder performance in cases when you are parsing a file with lots of default values being used, since lexical_cast has no behavior other than to throw for a bad value (last I used it, which is not recently). --Michael Fawcett
