I am open to all questions, the more the better. Most of my opinions
have been expressed earlier, but please ask if you want to know more.
I am attaching here the proposed (4.3.x) patch and the timings results
(after re-verifying the correctness of the timing program and the
results). The 4.2.x patch, the 4.3.x patch, the test program and the
results file are also attached to the incident.
The patch isn't binary compatible. We can't remove data members
in a minor release. We could only do it in a major release.
I'm still curious about the performance, though. It doesn't make
sense to me that a call to a virtual function is faster than one
to an almost trivial inline function.
Let me see if I can build the library on Solaris and put together
some numbers. I hope to have some time this weekend.

Thanks,
