We all learn how to create linked lists and other linked data structures. We may have also heard about their asymptotically-fast insert and delete operations. But, linked lists' flexibility comes at a cost. This video takes you through some of the downsides, including additional memory usage, poor memory locality, and slower traversal speeds. I also include some example code (in C) to demonstrate these differences in contrast to arrays. (uses getrusage and make) It also shows you how to define a preprocessor define from the command-line (-D).
