We'd be very interested in seeing results produced with other compilers and/or platforms at the highest optimization levels.
Here's a test from a machine I have handy:
Compiler: Linux kernel 2.4.27 gcc version 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
Timings: Run #1 results discarded per standard practice
Run #2 plain time: 6.42 named parameter time: 7.34
Run #3 plain time: 6.42 named parameter time: 7.34
Looks like GCC's optimizer got better at some point. I just tested with gcc-3.4.4 (on Cygwin) and got exactly the same time for both the plain and named parameter tests. However, everything's about twice as fast with gcc-4.0.0 :) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
