Review request for Dolphin.


Description
-------

Just the other day I noticed that we use QList in two places where the stored data type is larger than a pointer. In that case, QList stores not the items themselves in a contiguous memory block, but pointers to these items [1, 2]. This means that we have two unneeded pointers for every item, i.e., 16 bytes per item on a 64-bit system.

This can be changed in a rather straightforward way by replacing QList by QVector in these cases.

Testing
-------

KSysguard confirms that we need a few megabytes less when loading folders with many items.


Thanks,
