Re: int, isn't it the reverse? I.e. don't compilers find loops using ints easier to optimise because they can assume the counter does not wrap?

Also, what do you mean by level of indirection in the STL? Pointer chasing or, I suspect, layers of layers of tiny functions that need to be inlined for reasonable performance?
