The value of the STL is not in the containers, it's in the algorithms.

We who use std containers in Qt would be on very thin ice if the Qt containers 
would stand an ice-balls chance in hell against the STL containers. But if 
using a std::deque in place of a QList<QByteArray> speeds up code by 40%, then 
Qt has failed and either needs to fix its containers (impossible w/o abandoning 
CoW) or accept STL container use.

Thanks,
Marc
