  Well, one idea (or maybe more a side-effect) of template metaprogramming
is: Why calculate something at runtime if you can do it at compile time?

  It often may result in faster binaries. OTOH there are some huge projects
where compilation times are counted in hours rather than seconds, where
significantly slower compilation times might become an issue.
