<p>
These performance measurements are centered around default formatting
of a single <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> integer
number using different libraries and methods. The overall execution times
for those examples are compared below. We compare using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">sprintf</span></code>, C++ iostreams, <a href="../../../../../../../../libs/format/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Format</a>,
and <span class="emphasis"><em>Spirit.Karma</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
For the full source code of the performance test please see here: <a href="../../../../../../optimization/karma/int_generator.cpp" target="_top">int_generator.cpp</a>.
All the measurements have been done by executing <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">1e7</span></code>
iterations for each formatting type (NUMITERATIONS is set to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">1e7</span></code> in the code shown below).
