I used to bench it using "openssl speed". That was a long time ago, and 
Studio was definitely much faster then. I've not done it recently.

Yes, I agree. I see it mostly as a way to try it, even if sadly, it's 
not possible to try it where it'd be most needed.
And as I'm maintaining that particular bit, it's not just something I'm 
pushing on somebody else. The goal is to provide wxwidget with g++ ABI 
to others. As to how I do it, they should not worry about that ;-)
