Well the benchmark I see requires the Fortran programmer to implement a tiled traversal of a 3-d array and by hand unrolling 3 iterations to avoid copying arrays. I don't think that "pretty much anybody" has those tricks up his sleeve. Blitz++ transparently does the Hilbert- curve array traversal and lets you swap array handles instead of array contents, so you don't have to manually unroll the iteration. I wouldn't want to write my own expression template library from scratch, but _using_ blitz++ is much easier than writing the analogous code in Fortran.
