Don't recreate stream and locale in loop

[Osyotr]

Using std::locale::classic() instead of creating a new std::locale object on each iteration of the loop gives a massive performance boost. ~~Moving std::stringstream out of the loop further improves performance.~~

These are results from my benchmark:

Hmm, doesn't it crash in the parallel for loop? Did you test it in release mode?

Then the loop runs in parallel threads, each using the same tempStream instance: #define FOR_EACH_LOOP std::for_each( std::execution::par,

It could be optimized such that there is a vector<std::stringstream> tempStreamPerThread with int numThreads = std::thread::hardware_concurrency();

so that each thread re-uses the same std::stringstream

You are correct, this is a race condition in release builds. I've moved it back into the loop.
