And in a well-tuned GC system, that's less of a problem, see? :-) 
That's part of the reason these languages *do* allocate everything on 
the heap - it's not as much of a problem. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure 
why, but when folks actually measure, it often works out that way.

C# has value types too. I wonder how much you'd speed it up by not 
heap-allocating vectors to start with in C#.

Maybe the C# over-allocates the vectors, so the resize is cheap, and the 
C++ vectors have to actually get moved when resized?

Just random thoughts on the topic.
