I totally agree. Besides I used STL containers most of the time.

My point was nothing more than saying that the answer given by Thiago, which
was more or less "2 billion elements means 16GB in QList" and
suggesting such needs of memory would never happen, was not a good answer.
Because *yes*, such needs of memory can happen, and at least in my field,
they will happen more and more often.
