The containers and iterators use the standard C++ classes, with some minor overhead due to safety checks, so it still might be faster than some other Pawn implementation (like pawn-vector), but it depends on a lot of factors.

I'm not sure how to properly benchmark loops - I tried a few different things like empty loops with a large amount of iterations and GetTickCount before and after and the results, to my surpise, were that PawnPlus is 3 or 4 times as slow as y_iterate. Although, once again I have no clue how to benchmark loops, and I dont have the code I used yesterday so that people can check if I did it right.

Today I wanted to try something else, to see whether map_str_add_str would be faster than SetSVarString, here's the results and the code.

Code:

[19:32:44]  Bench for Store string 'Haha, this is a benchmark' in a PVar.: executes, by average, 1520.13 times/ms.
[19:32:46]  Bench for Store string 'Haha, this is a benchmark' in a normal variable with strcat.: executes, by average, 1984.01 times/ms.
[19:32:48]  Bench for Store string 'Haha, this is a benchmark' in a PawnPlus map with SA-MP string.: executes, by average, 1070.41 times/ms.
[19:32:50]  Bench for Store string 'Haha, this is a benchmark' in a PawnPlus map with PawnPlus string.: executes, by average, 620.31 times/ms.

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp>
#include <pawnplus>

#define START_BENCH(%0); {new __a=%0,__b=0,__c,__d=GetTickCount(),__e=1;do{}\
    while(__d==GetTickCount());__c=GetTickCount();__d=__c;while(__c-__d<__a||\
    __e){if(__e){if(__c-__d>=__a){__e=0;__c=GetTickCount();do{}while(__c==\
    GetTickCount());__c=GetTickCount();__d=__c;__b=0;}}{
    
#define FINISH_BENCH(%0); }__b++;__c=GetTickCount();}printf(" Bench for "\
    %0": executes, by average, %.2f times/ms.",floatdiv(__b,__a));}
    
new teststring[50],
    Map:ppteststring;

public OnFilterScriptInit()
{
    ppteststring = map_new();
    START_BENCH( 1000 );
    {
        SetSVarString("benchmark", "Haha, this is a benchmark");
    }
    FINISH_BENCH( "Store string 'Haha, this is a benchmark' in a PVar.");

    START_BENCH( 1000 );
    {
        strcat(teststring, "Haha, this is a benchmark");
    }
    FINISH_BENCH( "Store string 'Haha, this is a benchmark' in a normal variable with strcat.");

    START_BENCH( 1000 );
    {
        map_str_add_str(ppteststring, "benchmark", "Haha, this is a benchmark");
    }
    FINISH_BENCH( "Store string 'Haha, this is a benchmark' in a PawnPlus map with SA-MP string.");

    START_BENCH( 1000 );
    {
        map_str_add(ppteststring, "benchmark", str_new("Haha, this is a benchmark"));
    }
    FINISH_BENCH( "Store string 'Haha, this is a benchmark' in a PawnPlus map with PawnPlus string.");
    return 1;
}

Once again dissapointed, seems to be much slower than SA:MP alternatives, either that or I'm just shit at benchmarking, both are possible.
