> all your references point is the pointer dereferencing drawback I already pointed out I think maybe you didn't read through both the items I linked or the many others that come from a simple google query. One of my links for example points out the memory fragmentation issues, which can also affect performance, as another commenter here has also pointed out. There's more to the story than pointer de-referencing or memory context -- many drawbacks worth knowing about. There is nothing baseless here; there are pros and cons. But it's not in good form to ask people for details that are easily looked up on a topic as well-known as this one. We are not a reference source for you.
