[boost] "Small buffer optimization" for boost::function?

27 Dec 2005

      Good <time-of-day>!

Why not use 'small buffer optimization' for boost::function? Most of 
allocations are 8-16 bytes - an optimal size for SBO.

This optimization will make boost::function _much_ faster - in one of 
our project boost::function is responsible for 15% of the whole 
processor time.

PS: it will also be nice if something like 
http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/FastDelegate.asp will be included in 
Boost (and possibly in TR2).

PS: Happy New Year!
