Except of course the standard does not mandate a block size. That's purely msvc picking a wrong block size and being stuck with it.

The rant about lists is also nonsense.

I'm not sure about the standard part, but it does call out MS' STL in the sentence prior to what you quoted.

And why is the latter nonsense? lists have had terrible cache performance for decades now and vector is the better default choice of container.
