------- Comment #7 from pcarlini at suse dot de 2005-10-05 10:20 ------- PS: if you are going to experiment with _GLIBCXX_FULLY_DYNAMIC_STRING defined by default, I would suggest also testing the performance impact of the following: change the default constructor to allocate memory on the heap not only for the '\0', but also for a given small capacity > 0, say 15 chars. This would recover in some cases the initial overhead by not freeing and allocating memory at the first real usage.
