I ran Gerald's C++ code on

Reading specs from /export/u10/egcs-profile/lib/gcc-lib/alphaev6-unknown-linux-gnu/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000127 (experimental)

with

options -ftemplate-depth-25 -O1 

and found the following statistics; I'm not familiar with statistics from
cc1plus, so it just seems to me that GC is taking a fair amount of time:

Each sample counts as 0.000976562 seconds.

Everything else is below 1% of cpu time.  From the detailed report:
