For really nice cache misses the arrays (explicit or implicit) are needed. Havng the allocations of the objects for calculations gives us chance for that too: we'd also need the different, crossed lifetimes of allocated objects, which can be done with "smart" pointers (the application I've mentioned used these too! That's why I've mentioned Boost).
