Nice. I guess we need to get these numbers for a couple more
major platforms and remove the switch.

On the other hand it's not a complete evaluation: without explicit
template instantiation there is a tendency for uncontrolled growth 
of the use of templates, so it would be nice to read up on the
modern compiler/linker's ability to eliminate duplicate code from the
resulting executable.
