    making multiset destructor faster...

    Code:
    void test()
    {
    	clock_t t1 = clock();
    	std::multiset<int> set;
    	for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i)
    		set.insert(i);
    
    	clock_t t2 = clock();
    	cout << "time: " << t2 - t1 << "ms" << endl;
    }
    on my machine, with optimizations turned on, an e8400 overclocked to 3.6ghz that takes 1357ms to do all the insertions. the time for the function to exit is 105813ms, which means it's taking 104456ms for the destructor of the multiset to run.

    i'm not sure why it's so slow....even if you remove every item 1 by 1 it should still be O(n log n) right? same as insertion?

    is there a way where i can make the cleanup faster?

    thanks.

    There must be something wrong. For me insertions take 1812 ms and total running time of the function is 2156 ms.

    And I don't think the order in which items are removed has to be the same they were inserted, so the destructor should be pretty much linear.

    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

    note to self: don't use the debugger for such things.
