Hello, 
 
I'm using ostringstream to write big amounts of data (some 10MB). For simplicity the 
data is written as single bytes. For gcc 3.3.x the time per character needed is almost 
constant for different amounts of data. But for 3.4.x this time increases dramatically:  
the time / char - ratio for 10 MB is 8 times that for 1 MB. 
 
This performance-decrease does not happen to string-concatenation using +=. 
 
Appended is an example program that has a switch to measure the performance of 
both string and ostringstream. 
 
I'm using linux 2.4.20 with SuSE 8.2 on a pentium 4, 512 MB Ram, 2.4 GHz. The gcc 
is 3.4.1, but the results are similar to 3.4.0. gcc -v tells:

Confirmed, sigh. The fix is easy, just grow the internal string object
exponentially and not one page at a time: I tried to be too smart during the
redesign of sstream... Anyway, I should have a patch shortly. Thanks for your 
report and sorry.

;) Anyway, I have attached a patch (already regtested) that you can use in your
local tree, before 3.4.2 is out. Of course, in case you encounter any problem
please let us know ASAP (this time ;)
