Hi,

I wonder if anybody compared ROOT collections vs STL containers from the
point of view of performance.
It is clear that using STL leads at present to huge executables, which is
not a nice feature.
On the other hand implementation of ROOT collections is based on
abstract classes, so simultaneous use of many collection classes may lead
to a noticeable performance degradation.

Thanks, Pasha.
