I hope you understand that by providing templates against virtual
functions, i save 8 bytes for every object. But i saw your last
implementation, where in you converted the function pointers into normal
functions. Is that the approach you are taking( not providing the option to
override )?

Also please point out, why you feel mine will have any performance issues?

Thanks,
Gokul.
