Your own code is going to be no better, and could certainly be quite worse. The design decision to misuse the STL is the issue here, not the STL, its capabilities, or its perf characteristics. You're attacking the wrong part of the problem. | |

If you use STL, you have very little opportunity for optimization because it takes your specific applications and solves them in a general way. Solving specific cases in a specific way (and without dynamic memory allocation) is almost always higher-performance. | |
