Hi Benedek,
Please find the benchmark code and results attached. It compares serialization of devector/batch_deque/std::vector/std::deque. (I couldn't find a ready serializer for Boost.Container). The comparison is not exactly fair, because it seems boost/serialization/vector.hpp also adds version information. Measurement was done as above.
Brief preview of the full set of attached results:
I was a bit surprised that std::vector performed almost as good as devector. Then I realized that you are testing serialization "save" and not serialization "load". Given that, I'm now surprised that devector/batch_deque is faster than std::vector for e.g. std::array<char, 32>! I did not expect that. However, the "load" test should be even more interesting as that is the one that involves potential double initialization. Could you post those numbers too? Thanks in advance Thorsten
