Can you, instead of storing objects in your vector, allocate the objects on the heap and store pointers (or shared pointers) to them? In this case you would not have to worry about the vector moving it's elements around -- it would be just moving pointers.

This may be a good solution. The only problem is that find(...) will be looking for identical pointers instead of identical objects. Easy to fix though.

if nothing is even going to change in the container, do you know the number of items at compile time? If so, you could perhaps use boost::array. Cheers Russell
