Hi Andrew;

Since there is interest in this I opened a Bugzilla issue with the patch: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121561 There's also a spreadsheet with some basic tests. > Would want to compare expected group actual and old to new. > > Would want to devise test cases against both common and edge cases. > > Also curios about time impact, does it take more time or less. > The differences are insignificant comparing FreeBSD amd64 (with boost) vs a VM running Windows XP with Symphony, but I am sure someone can come up with more creative tests :). Perhaps someone not necessarily technically oriented, can create a wiki page with a table of the functions in boost 1.48 that we may want. Some stuff like GCD and LCM is simply more work than is worth it but if there is something that we simply don't have already (perhaps some weird stats distribution) , chances are good we can bring it in for 4.0.
