I was talking about speed, not memory consumption.

That was my point (especially the "insert at any point" case). (And you 
forgot "remove at any point", which is like "insert at any point" except for 
moving in the other direction.)

The speed difference can be arbitrarily large. Even infinite if the type is 
not movable and the copy constructor or the destructor does not halt. ;-)
