(There is also a GNU g++ Edition of these performance tests, and a newer std::set comparison.)

Here is a complete test of MSVC++ map speeds, using same code as my previous map speed test: timemap.cpp with cycle.h.

The compilers are Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express as VC9 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Beta as VC10. The containers are std::map, stdext::hash_map, std::tr1::unordered_map, and boost::unordered_map, each with _SECURE_SCL enabled and disabled.
