The STL classes are generally within 2-5% of the speed of hand-coded C/C++
(non-templated) libraries.  Further, you can (and trust me, I have!)
generally switch between linked lists, vectors, and double-ended queues with
very little code changes, so you can see which is the faster option.  No
coding needed.

Interestingly enough, a project leader (computer engineer with master's in
CompEng) I used to work with has the same name... :-)
... ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!! ... Tension breaker, had to be done.
