C++ cout printing slowly

Question

I noticed if I print out a long string(char*) using cout it seems to print 1 character at a time to the screen in Windows 7, Vista, and Linux(using putty) using Visual C++ 2

Try using ios::sync_with_stdio(false);. Mention it before using std::cin/cout. It doesn't mix stdio or iostream but it synchronizes iostream standard streams with their corresponding standard c streams. for example - std::cin/wcin of iostream is synchronized with stdin of c stream
