• ArrayLists, Generic Lists, Is There A Way To Insert Items Faster? – Pascal Ganaye takes a look at the performance of various collection classes in a number of different scenarios, digging a little deeper into the code to see why they behave differently in this somewhat old CodeProject article – still interesting stuff though
