Unfortunately Microsoft is addicted to telemetry, so vcpkg has that. I did not bother checking for NuGET.

Header-only libraries can give substantial speedups (25% in extreme cases).

You can disable it.

I really would like to see benchmarks versus proper use of binary libraries.

I shouldn't have to think about it; I shouldn't have to explicitly opt-out to have privacy. Telemetry should always be opt-in, and not opted-in by default.

The problem is, as a developer trying to fix issues, telemetry can be extremely helpful... but if it's solely opt-in, then virtually nobody will actually use it, and then what's the point.

So your developer issues should trump my user issues?

It tells you to just recompile with -disableMetrics if you want, it's really not a huge deal. It's not like Windows.

So as a user, I have to recompile in deference to making things easier for the developer. Definitely not like Windows...for all their sins, they don't pull entitled BS like that on users.
