Conclusion

Simply put, plf::stack out-performs both std::stack (std::deque) and std::vector under MSVC 2015 once both push and pop time are taken into account, except for char with more than 1000 elements, where vector has a performance advantage. We can also see that the larger the stored type is, the greater the performance advantage is.
