I'm surprised to hear you say this, as my experience is so different. To see whether this might be because things changed with in VC 9, I ran one of our benchmark suites to measure the _SECURE_SCL penalty for release builds. The benchmarks attempt, amongst other things, to measure the abstraction penalty by comparing the performance of different algorithms when using a vendor's vector with associated iterator type vs. an array with pointers.
Weird, tested the following snippet: [snip]
Does not sound too bad to me actually? Not sure, maybe the x64 exception handling is just vastly better for non-thrown exceptions. I'm keeping it on, just in case, and I hope Boost won't override the compiler default.

For my reply, I have received permission to post a pre-release version of some code from a colleague's benchmark suite. This should indicate how to reproduce my results. I will begin a new thread since the current subject line doesn't really reflect the topic under discussion. I will begin the threas: High Performance Cost of MS 'secure' STL for Release Builds. - Mat
