I don't expect that the Standard Template Library causes notable startup 
delays as it does not link to additional shared libraries: all the code is 
generated at compile time and contained within the Amarok binary/shlibs. So I 
don't think that this is a reason to stop to profit from the Qt container 
classes' STL compatibility.
