            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

        ReportedBy: devel@the-user.org


Hi!

Comparison (operator<) on vector<bool> seems to be extremely slow, because it
uses a generic implementation, i.e. bitwise iteration. It should be specialised
and use integer-comparisons provided by the CPU.
