[quote from the doc] Semantically spoken, an intrusive container in the sense of Boost.Intrusive is similiar to an STL-container holding non-owning pointers to objects.

I buy the performance goal Note, that the performance improvement is not a step in quantity but in quality. But it seems, that I have to write a real-world example to convince you about that statement. I'm going to do that.
