Re:What to use instead of std::set [pdf] by taeric on Thursday August 25, 2016 @01:35PM (#12360868)
I honestly don't know. I should call out that my number of 1k is probably wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if it is too high. Though, it will probably depend a lot on caching.

Basically, it is a hard thing where being wrong flat out doesn't matter the vast majority of the time.

I think education does folks a disservice by asking "what is the fastest" or "which one should you choose" in many scenarios. Instead, we want people to be able to reason about all of the choices more holistically, which is not an easy task.
