Hi
I'm sitting and reading an article in the latest Dr. Dobb's Journal - 
October 2003 issue.
There is quite an interesting article on "C++ String Performance" - the 
guy has made some kind of string implementation that performs between 2 
and 25.000 times better than the std:string or std::basic_string<T>. 
Especially the performance gains in multithreaded application is 
outstanding.
His ideas are pretty good, but he uses the std::string implementation in 
gcc 2.96 to compare against so the std::string classes might already 
have been improved - but maybe not.
Is anybody working on a boost::basic_string<T> that  offers better 
performance than the normal std::basic_string<T> , especially in 
multithreaded applications ?
