}
$ strace a.out 2>&1 | grep write

write(2, "\n", 1
The standard streams are unbuffered by default. If you unsync them from the "C" streams with std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false) then you'll have much better luck.

>Description:
When going from the 20010507 snapshot to gcc 3.0, I noticed a severe ostream performance degradation as chunks of characters are now being written individually, one syscall per char. I have not seen a previous report on this issue, but then I do not find my way around at all, so please bear with me if this has already been reported.

$ cat a.cc
#include <iostream>
main (int argc, char** argv)
{
std::cerr << "Hello world" << std::endl;
}
$ g++ a.cc
$ strace a.out 2>&1 | egrep write\(2'
write(2, "H", 1) = 1
write(2, "e", 1) = 1
write(2, "l", 1) = 1
write(2, "l", 1) = 1
write(2, "o", 1) = 1
write(2, " ", 1) = 1
write(2, "w", 1) = 1
write(2, "o", 1) = 1
write(2, "r", 1) = 1
write(2, "l", 1) = 1
write(2, "d", 1) = 1
write(2, "\n", 1

It worked better in the 20010507 snapshot:
