in thread Data structures in Perl. A C programmer's perspective.
When people talk about linked lists “storing data all over the place,” what they are really concerned about is locality of reference, i.e. minimizing the probability of a virtual-memory page fault ... which involves stopping the process in its tracks, doing a physical I/O to retrieve the page from a spinning disk,
Downvoted: Locality of reference has exactly zero to do with page faults; zero to do with physical IO; and zero to do with spinning disk.
Your whole post is total misinformation.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
