GAlib questions

[ole mengshoel]

First, let me give my kudos to the developers of GAlib for 
creating such a well-documented system and making it available 
on the Web!  

Second, I have a couple of questions I'd appreciate if anyone could 
give feedback on: 
- Is there a "cookbook" for making GAlib work under VC++?  Or, even 
  better, has someone ported it to VC++ and is willing to share their code? 

- The documentation says that GAlib is "reasonably fast".  Are there 
  any measures on this, again using VC++ on a WinNT platform?  How 
  fast is GAlib compared to other C++-based GA SW out there?  Have fundamental 
  design choices been made which make it harder to make GAlib faster if need 
  be? 

Thanks for any suggestions regarding the above, 

Ole J.
