The test were run about 20 times with the average taken.

The test was very simplistic and I'll send them to you tomorrow (I'm out 
of the office until tomorrow).

Generally it's a structure with three strings, and it's newed filled in 
and pushed back into the vector 1,000,000 times (we have higher).

I also did the same test in C using talloc which is a hierarchical pool 
based memory allocator using VS2003 and DMC and if I recall correctly 
these are the numbers:
VS2003 = 4.0 - 4.5
VS2003 with nedmalloc = 2.0 - 2.5
DMC = 6.5 - 7.5
