I am noticing what seems to be a huge drop in performance in STL from VC6.0
to VC7.1. Particularly
with vector.
The following code shows what I mean...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
B

I presume this is in release mode, with
optimizations applied?

Are you sure? I compiled your code with VC7.1 and got the following

Yes.
You're not using Visual C++ .NET 2003 Standard Edition, are you? If so - no
optimizer, which would explain the performance difference.

Yikes! We are using that version. Nobody knew that this version has no
optimization available. Why the heck would microsoft do that? Well, I
guess $$ is the usual answer...
Thanks for the tip..
