ostream::form() replacement under gcc3.2

[Hans Horn]

Group,

after I was able to dig up an ostream::form() replacement I was finally able
to recompile my projects under gcc v3.2.
I'm happy with that.

What I'm not happy with at all is that the build time went up by a factor of
3, and each exe produced is between 50% and 100% bigger than the ones
produced under gcc v295 (under cygwin)!

What is going on?
Is the time and size increase due to the template orgy in the c++ libraries
I was reading about?
Does anybody know?
