So I was looking at implementing a linked list to use instead of arrays in some areas. But is it really worth it in AS3? I did some speed tests using 10000 objects (ints). Access is about the same as long as you know what node you’re on. Removal is of course faster. But adding to the linked list is actually slower than push() by the same amount that it is faster in removal. So is it really worth it to use them?
