John,

As you know, using a constructor/destructor pair is actually what the 
BEGIN/END macros currently do. I have tried improving this 
constructor/destructor approach with inlining, but couldn't get a 
significant improvement in this direction. Perhaps didn't I try hard 
enough...

The alternative approach with new/delete (the one that you don't like), 
which provides for me something like 20% in speed improvement, is still 
the best that I could find so far...

@all : is anybody working on this issue right now ? did anybody manage 
to get better results that the one obtained with my new/delete patch ?
