A little benchmarking with short lists shows that for lists that are near or 
smaller than my cache size (skaller's point), the stack map performs better; 
especially in the byte-code case.  

However, the thread was originally about long lists, and for that it is clear 
that algorithms other than the vanilla map are better suited.  To me, this 
just proves that there's no such thing as universal optimisation (yet!).  
One's got to actually think about the problem at hand. Damn. ;)
